To appreciate past DS106 stories, I took a look at the final project titled “A Television Life.” A Television Life This final project is a digital story because it is a story being told with images, sounds, and videos.

Hey guys! I looked through some of the previous projects and stopped with THIS one because it gave me the exact example of a multimedia digital story…

Author Kurt Vonnegut gave a presentation on how stories can be described with curves on a graph. One curve he called “man in hole.” For this curve, the main character gets in trouble, then gets out of it again and ends off better for the experience. The movie that comes to mind when I think of … Continue reading →

After watching Vonnegut’s video on stories, I thought about movies that I have seen recently. I watched the movie Gone Girl, which is an awesome movie that I highly recommend.

I think of it as a more detailed way of telling something as opposed to strict repetition of memories. Storytelling is embellishment … Continue reading What does ‘storytelling’ mean to me? →

To me, the word storytelling is a way to bring people’s imagination, comprising of their own thoughts and feelings, and maybe aspects from other stories they liked, to life. A story could be fact or fiction.
