About 32 teacher trainees at Samtse College of Education learned photojournalism using multimedia storytelling. The two-day training held on 1 and 2 November saw trainees use pictures, audio and caption to produce multimedia pieces.
The workshops gave participants a platform to share their stories in creative ways. It helped them learn how to approach a story or raise an issue with a solution and how to use video editing software.
The objective of the workshop was to learn how storytelling was useful and how multimedia production could communicate the messages of an organisation, a community or a person. It was also aimed at learning how to integrate photos, sounds, and text in a multimedia production.
The workshop helped the participants understand the challenges they faced in their communities and think of how to overcome the challenges. The participants were able to use creative means to address these issues.
The participants quickly learnt to use sophisticated video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro and to integrate pictures with sounds and captions.
Five multimedia videos were produced as part of the workshop. Some of the participants plan to learn more about video editing and use their skills to tell the stories from their communities while some said their skills could come useful in teaching and learning.
