What is storytelling?
It has existed since ancient times.
It's always the story of us.
It has a fixed structure.
What is a digital story?
A multimedia production in which each element has a meaning.
It's rewarding.
It makes access to abstract and complex concepts more immediate (ex: Plato and the Myth of the Cave)
Multimedia elements generate interpretive processes and meaningful conceptual correlations.
What a digital story is not?
Complete fiction: almost everything stems from a basis of reality and truth.
Advertising: a call to action can certainly be part of a digital story but its purpose is not to promote a product or service.
What would be best to avoid in a digital story?
Big truths and stories. Find the general in the particular, Berger, 1963.
