This year The Purple Quill again visited Great American Ball Park as part of the Reds’ High School Media Days. As adviser, I was accompanied by junior Cole Carle and senior Jacob Geiser. You can read Jacob’s story right here on our site. This was my fifth visit so I tried to make sure that I shot video during this one to help document the experience and to show my students how I want them to work through a true “video” story. As we continue to develop our online stories I wanted to demonstrate that you can shoot video, write a script, do a storyboard, grab and create other supplementary images and edit it all into a cohesive piece that “tells a story.” What you see below is the result.
