Blog 6: Digital Storytelling ****BLOG 2

Digital storytelling is telling a story through animation. Using sites like animoto.com and goanimate.com, allow users to create stories and tell the story they want with a song or just plain animation. Some of the stories created can be purely representational and require the viewer to look for an inner meaning of some sort. Or some may be completely up front about the meaning and just be for entertainment purposes.

Digital storytelling can be used in Public Relations when trying to get a message out or promote something. In the Navy, it might become useful if I am trying to compile a series of pictures from a deployment or event to compile a clip that would entertain and serve a purpose to promote the unit.

This example is a great way to view how we can use imovie to create a digital story. The story is about the Honeymuffins and getting a new dog.
