Investigations on Digital Storytelling. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 156
New media technologies are enabling users to develop
a new generation of applications which move in the
centre of gravitation between Theatre, Cinema,
Literature, Games, and the Arts.
These new type of applications have in common that
they employ digital media material to tell stories in
an interactive way. The range of applications is
wide, with storytelling employed to different degrees
and with various tasks.
Digital Storytelling finds employment in the transfer
of knowledge, for edutainment purposes, product
marketing, awareness support, or simply for play and
entertainment. However, there is still no clear
definition of Digital Storytelling, its components
and the dimensions, which permit an assessment of an
application and its comparison with others. This
would be of advantage for the development and
improvement of applications for targeted audiences.
With this work I introduce Digital Storytelling as a
thematic area in its own right. I aim to offer a
Beginners’ Guide to Digital Storytelling, to derive a
framework and general guidelines for the development
of applications and to provide a foundation for
benchmarking of Digital Storytelling applications.
