Writing the Package

This is a very useful article for us, who will make their own package for the first time.

From the instructions in this article, I learned that we need to do something, and also avoid something. First, voice-over cannot be simply the description of your image. That is to say, if your audiences can understand the idea very easily from your images, then you don't need to tell them again. For example, in the healthy food story in this article, when your image is that children are eating apples, pears, etc., then you don't have to narrate that children are eating fresh fruits. What you need to do is not simply explain the image, but use images to prove your idea. This is my second point, images are based on ideas and voice-over. Before I read this article, I thought after shooting the video, we should edit images first, in a pleasing sequence, and then write the script for the package. But actually, we need to establish our idea first, and use images to prove our idea. Our idea and focus are the frame of the package. That is the point.

Good luck everyone! :)
