There are some universal elements to any compelling story, whether they’re in books, the news, articles, blogs, or movies. Once you understand these five elements, you’ll be able to pick them out in TV shows, movies, books, and news articles. Just as in movie scores, the music can set the tone and enforce the message.

I'm pleased to present my fourth installment in my interview series with famous video bloggers about video blogging techniques that nonprofits or others might use.

The next technique that I am exploring in my screencasting/videocasting skill set is the addition of music.

It allowed us to play and get comfortable with the discussion software, faciliplay exercises, and other areas that participants wanted to explore like the audio as online conversation. In terms of technique, I wanted to figure out the best first project for a beginner. How to make a video from stills and music and transition screens.
