Storytelling is a powerful method of communication; it stems from traditional cultures, many of which are represented at the Council of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. Photographs have the power to convey emotion and moment, and video has the power to transport the audience to another time and place. In Intro to Video Production, I was able to learn about the 13 Grandmothers, and to choose how to frame the subject, which elements to arrange together, and how to connect them all to visually tell a story.
