Images with story line-up or a video for startup photography Facebook page?

I have a hypothetical situation here and I'm considering to go for it because I travel a lot . I'm thinking of starting up a photography facebook page that will include only the locals of that particular area . The kind of interaction I will have with these people will be basically about their culture and day to day life norms. I have a pretty decent Canon camera and have a sound knowledge to capture a perfect picture that will include every element of the surroundings.

Now keeping that in mind, I have to find a perfect community on Facebook that will love that kind of work. For that I have two ideas. 1. Set up a story line in series of images of that particular interaction and create a kind of ' suspense' of what's coming up . 2. Make up a video of that interaction with top notch editing ( background music etc) .

Which one of these will have the most effect to gain genuine fans? Looking for your opinion guys.

Cheers

    Mark,

    - How will your idea work because when you move on does that page die? Or do you create a new fanpage for each place you visit.

    - Language - unless you are travelling in English speaking countries how are you going to engage with the locals? Again if you're going to the developing world access to the net is a challenge.

    - There are tons of travel groups and pages on FB but the admins won't like it much if you're going in there to build your own page/group.

    - You need a mixture of good content, images articles and videos to entice folks to your page. But the biggest winner is personal interaction. You need to like, share, answer questions and comment to build an audience and an active community.

      No, actually it will be a same Facebook page sharing stories from different places that I will visit. Definitely, I'll not be creating a separate group or FB page for every region because that will be a huge hassle. But your suggestion regarding creating good content with good quality images is I think the core of this page and without that I know it's impossible to attract a good audience.
