Video and photography is about lighting. Smart photographers obey "the rule of thirds'" To make the video more interesting, move the subject away from the center by placing the subject at any of the intersecting lines of the tic-tac-toe like frame.
Photos
Images in multimedia are intrinsic to digital storytelling's communicative possibilities. Use images to construct arguments, convey ideas and emotions.
Music/Sound
Sound can make or break a multimedia production, whether it's an audio slideshow, a documentary, video or an interactive narrative. Multimedia stories rely on four kinds of audio: interview clips, voice over, ambient sound, and natural sound.
