This presentation takes journalists, researchers and creators through the range of tools and methods available to visualise open-source investigations, demonstrating how these techniques transform data into impactful narratives for audiences. Through a series of case studies on human rights from across the world, we’ll explore ways to present open-source investigations across different formats, from quick, engaging social media videos to complex data visualisations and fully-produced investigative videos.
The main subjects attendees will learn in this session are:
> How to find the story that is hiding in your data. Exploring questions and techniques to use to simplify complex investigations and turn them into engaging visual products.
> Which data visualisation tools and mapping techniques can be used to organise your investigation to allow you to create interactive, in-depth narratives.
> How advanced video editing techniques can be applied to create polished, high-impact videos for resource-heavy projects.
