Social Media Short Story
Using a social media platform to share Alex's hiking journey was a double-edged sword. The photos I used captured Alex's hike beautifully, showcasing the hike's progression through time and space. However, relying solely on a caption limited the depth of the story and my ability to tell something creatively. While the photos illustrated his adventure literally, the caption had the potential to add context, emotions, and details that the images couldn't convey. Had I incorporated a more descriptive caption, sharing Alex's thoughts, challenges, or personal reflections during the hike, it could have enhanced the audience's connection to his experience. This was something I wish I could have done more creatively. Nonetheless, the progression of the story through photos engaged viewers, offering a vivid portrayal of Alex's hike, with some caveats of missing some opportunities for a richer narrative through the caption.
