Reading #3

 

One of my favorite things Bob Dotson wrote was the part about "how to become a story teller."

 

specifically the part about his photojournalist friend. He didn't have the confidence to write stories because he didn't think he could come up with anything clever-but in all actuality he is the one who inspired Bobs First words in the article. If he would have thought of what he was saying and stress it a little less he would have been able to write that article himself without the help of another journalist.

Land of 10,000 stories: purr-fect music. March 30th 2011.

The dogs howling in the beginning. the women playing the harp. the grey cat purring loudly. The cars driving by the gas station. Cat meowing along with her harp at the end.

Tight shot on a cats eye. I thought it was really cool because you can see the cat looking at you. Depth shot: Rachel christiansan is seen through the harp strings so you can see her playing and still see her face. Depth shot of a sleeping cat with the Harpist out of focus in the background, you can see how relaxed the cats really get. wide shot of her in the whole room, lets you see how small the room is and how it needs to get bigger.

Pictures: this story had a lot of shots showing how extremely relaxed and happy the cats were. one shot that comes to mind is the picture of the Grey cat purring through the gate and going up to it when she got closer to it.

Voice overs: You could really tell how bitter some of the workers were about getting their money for the shelter gambled away. Women in the grey sweatshirt is especially angry and passionate.

Graphics: they used a design of the floor plan to show what the building was going to look like before they lost the money.
