Digital Storytelling New Media Narrative 767b
This course examines how new media narrative both reflects and adds to traditional forms of storytelling and narrative expression. Students create “reflective media,” by using planning tools that help them visualize the overall arc and map of a story, and select media to maximize effective expression in their work. The media that students produce is “zero budget media” in that students are not expected to have or use equipment beyond their own laptop and digital camera. In addition, students read narrative theory, synthesize their own concepts in this area, and present their findings in written work, particularly as it applies to their professional practice.
Storytelling: is the conveying of events in words, images and sounds, often by improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation and in order to instill moral values. Crucial elements of stories and storytelling include plot, characters and narrative point of view. Modern storytelling has a broad purview. In addition to its traditional forms (fairytales, folktales, mythology, legends, fables etc.), it has extended itself to representing history, personal narrative, political commentary, and evolving cultural norms. Contemporary storytelling is also widely used to address educational objectives
Media: Media influence or media effects are used media studies, psychology, communication theory and sociology to refer to the theories about the ways in which mass media affect how their audiences think and behave.
Reflections:
This was a very challenging assignment, but one that I thoroughly enjoyed creating. Re-living the experience was definitely the best part!
