A free webinar brought to you by The Space, in association with Arts Council England.

You have an idea for a project, and you know the story you want to tell. How do you ensure the final product is as clear and engaging to new audiences as it can be? From framing your work with the clearest copy, to making a stellar suite of supporting assets and creating a project that tells a clear and captivating story, this webinar explores the key principles of presenting a well-defined project online.

Using two Space commissions as case studies, Upswing’s contemporary circus mockumentary Common Ground and WOVEN’s documentary film Growing Colour Together, we discuss top tips (and how to avoid potential pitfalls) of online storytelling.

 

We cover:

How to create and maintain a clear narrative for your project

What to think about when building supporting assets

Framing your work online with copy, and a clear tone of voice

How organisations have responded to the challenges of positioning their work online.

The importance of ‘critical friends’
