Digital storytelling

Digital storytelling is a way to share experience, knowledge, memories and thoughts by using photos and your personal voice. All over the world, people are making and sharing stories in this way and we love to listen to them.
The reason why people like digital storytelling, is that they are fun to make and easy to share. We love watching them, because they are personal, short and narrative.
What is typical a digital story, is the 7 elements made by  Center for digital storytelling. These can be a great help in producing a good story:
  1. A point of view
  2. A dramatic question
  3. Emotional content
  4. The gift of your voice
  5. The power of the soundtrack
  6. Economy
  7. Pacing
