                        Reporting v. Storytelling

                        Whenever I give a lecture or seminar I like to discuss the difference between Reporting and Storytelling. 

                        I put this video together to explain it. Example A is a version of 'generic' reporting. Example B is an example of Storytelling.

                        Example B actually aired on KUSA. Chances are Example A would air on most local news stations, which is a shame. 

                        Your goal is to capture moments. That's what you got in Example B.
