From the media video, to tell a story, in addition to the conventional shooting methods, what other ways of expression?

First of all, I think the questioner may be a little vague or unclear about how to express this question. Here, I will talk about some superficial understanding according to my own thinking on the problem.

First, the expression form of "video" for publication and dissemination, whether it is "telling stories" or expressing other contents or themes, has little choice but to shoot pictures (pictures also need to be shot) and animations (including 2D and 3D animations).

I don't think such a simple answer is what the questioner wants. Moreover, shooting is the best way to express the "video" most vividly.

Second, does the questioner want to know how to "tell stories" by video? !

Story, originally a literary genre, focuses on the description of the development process of events, emphasizes the vividness and coherence of the plot, and pays attention to the contradictions and conflicts in the story. "Telling a story" with video means telling a story with vivid "image language". This requires not only the literary genre of "story", but also the film and television characteristics of "combination of sound and picture". In that case, it's a long story.

Third, does the questioner want to know how to create more and better high-quality original videos from the media? !

Tracing back to the source, the ancestor of "video" comes from "photography". Since French Daguerre invented photography in 1839, photography has developed rapidly both technically and aesthetically. Especially with the development of photography technology, human aesthetic vision has expanded from space to the seabed, from micro to macro. Photography has become one of the main expressive tools of human visual aesthetics and the "third eye" of human beings.

However, whether it is the invention of photography technology or the development of photography art, film art and television art, any artistic expression, once satisfying people's short-term curiosity and thirst for knowledge, pursues "content". "Content is king" is one of the most widely known business concepts in the media industry. Lei Shidong, president of Viacom, who put forward it, said: "The cornerstone of media enterprises must and absolutely must be content, and content is everything"! At the same time, "content is king" is a term born with the construction of Internet websites.

Therefore, whether it is traditional media or self-media, high-quality original content is the most important thing to attract audiences, retain users and establish a good reputation.

Self-media (mbth), also known as "citizen media" or "personal media", refers to a new media that is privatized, popularized and autonomous, and delivers normative and non-normative information to an unspecified majority or specific individuals through modern and electronic means. Media platforms include: blog, Weibo, WeChat, Tik Tok, Baidu official post bar, forum /BBS and other online communities. In the era of self-media, different voices come from all directions, and people no longer accept the voice of one or several "mainstream media", but the information dissemination activities led by the general public, which have changed from the traditional "point-to-point" communication to the "point-to-point" communication concept.

Because the field and scope that the media can set foot in is too wide and too big. Therefore. The author believes that the media should make proper planning and positioning according to their own reality.

For the general public from the media: shoot, make and publish some videos of people and things around them. One grass and one tree, one mountain and one water, one city and one scene, taking photos to commemorate, birthday parties, etc. They are all good materials and themes for video creation and release. Without cost or deliberate efforts, you can build a circle of friends, interact, communicate, exchange and share with friends in the circle of friends, and enjoy it.

For self-media with a certain promotion purpose: shooting, producing and publishing videos related to their own fields, and for self-media who want to produce and publish high-quality videos, they can also hire professionals or professional video production companies to shoot on their behalf.

For the self-media aiming at professional operation, it is suggested that we should not only have our own characteristics and main attack direction, but also learn and accumulate the ability to shoot and produce high-quality original videos, and deeply cultivate local culture in order to become stronger and better. Don't be greedy for perfection, try to be fine, excellent and detailed. Only in this way can we create our own brand.
