While I was in Washington, I found myself feeling really overwhelmed at times by everything going on around me. How could I capture it all, do it justice? How could I use sound and images to narrate such a momentous gathering-together of people? It's something I can't say I did especially well.
But, in a story about a pilgrimage to a river in India for Time.com this guy does!
For one thing, he simply narrates the story himself - if you want to tell the story of so many people, you don't want to find just one participant and let them do the talking for everyone. By doing the talking, Panjiar keeps the scope of his story broad. He uses a few images in which individuals are highlighted, but for the most part, his shots are of crowds, large groups. Lots of long shots. His captions don't include people's names, which I think communicates in some small way what it feels like to be surrounded by so many strangers. He did what I wanted to do at the inauguration, only better.
