Information About

Storytelling (design)




Setting - The setting orients the audience, providing a sense of time and place for the story.

Characters - Character identification is how the audience becomes involved in the story, and how the story becomes relevant.

Plot - The plot ties events in the story together, and is the channel through which the story can flow.

Invisibility - The awareness of the storyteller fades as the audience focuses on a good story. When engaged in a good movie or book, the existence of the medium is forgotten.

Mood - Music, lighting, and style of prose create the emotional tone of the story.

Movement - In a good story, the sequence and flow of events is clear and interesting. The storyline doesn't stall.
