Digital Storytelling

Digital Storytelling: the art of conveying a story through the use of media elements: movie clips, TV clips, audio narration, personal narration, text, web-pictures, scanned personal pictures, and music clips. Layering the various elements produces a video production so as to illustrate a historical event, a personal aspect, or a specific concept. A means of sharing information insightfully, thus leaving a lasting impression in a relatively short story.

  2. I liked the word layering, too. It really helped me conceptualize what this is.
