My Storytelling Plan

1. Which media environments and technologies/applications/platforms will I use in documenting and telling the story of my China trip?


To document this trip I plan to use a combination of both black and white film and digital photography and then posting the images on my personal blog.


2. What equipment/gear will I need to bring to capture my stories?


I will be bringing my Canon Rebel XS, my Mac Book Pro and editing my digital files in Photoshop camera raw, my Pentax K1000, as well as a large quantity of Ilford film.


3. How will I capture and "bottle" my stories while traveling in China?


I am not exactly sure how I want to go about telling my story of the trip to China. I know that I will be shooting taking pictures everyday, but am still deciding on an overall theme. I hope to capture everyday life in China as well as the overall experience of China Mojo. I will frequently update my blog with photos while in china (if it’s possible), I will develop the film after we get back and scan the print into the computer later.


4. Here are some photos I have taken recently as an example of what I will be doing in China.
