Storytelling is a crucial part of any video project. Whether it’s 30 seconds, or 30 minutes, a video needs to have a basic storyline to engage your audience. We’ll cover the basics of storytelling structure and look at some examples of companies doing storytelling well, so you can start using the basic storytelling concepts in your own video projects.
