When I was reading chapters 1-3 I was able to find five concepts that stood out to me and had a relation to storytelling. The first one was social media. Social media is an outlet that impacts a lot people and allows for groups to interact with each other. This concept has an impact on my daily life because social media is something that I use very often to stay connected with people I know and it allows me to see things that are going on in their lives. This relates to storytelling because the posts that people will put are some form of a story, especially if it is a status on Facebook or a tweet on Twitter. These stories that are posted are what helps people stay connected and to know what is going on in others’ lives.
Another concept that

It is a form of communication that communicates certain stories to a given audience. Broadcasters have specific demographics that they are trying to relate to. The concept of broadcasting interested me because I want to be some form of a broadcaster when I graduate. The book made more reference to broadcasters and the relationship they have with storytelling. I think that in relation to storytelling, it coexists because without a story then we would be broadcasting absolutely nothing. In today’s society we also use multimedia all of the time so I think these two are very important and they exist because of each other. Broadcasting allows us to tell the stories of other people and spread news and information that people want to know about or are interested in knowing …show more content…
When you first hear this you might think of a car and getting from place to place and a road map when use in storytelling is something that gets you from place to place but in a different way. The idea of this concept is that you must start with an idea and then you will be intentional to have success to accomplish that idea. To go along with this concept, it talked about storyboards and I think these two are closely related, if not the same, and they help us to tell the best story, because we have it all planned out. This stood out to me because I have had to use the concept to help better my stories that I have had to tell in previous production classes and it allows for me to gain a better understanding. I think with storytelling, a roadmap and storyboard help us to create a plan of what we want and it allows us to tell the story the intended way or for us to find ways to tell the story in a different/more effective
Public broadcasting was birthed, was to ensure that there is a medium where every voice had a platform. The goal was to ensure that citizens have access to information is essential in balancing the nation. Taras (2001) borrows a quote from Lowe and Juart (2005), who sate that public broadcasting “is to build social capital by “bridging” “bonding” and “witnessing”, but most of all by treating audience members as citizens rather than as consumers” (lowe & jauert, 2005).
1. Growing up we all heard stories. Different types of stories, some so realistic, we cling onto them farther into our lives. Stories let us see and even feel the world in different prespectives, and this is becuase of the writter or story teller. We learn, survive and entertain our selves using past experiences, which are in present shared as stories. This is why Roger Rosenblatt said, "We are a narrative species."
Every corporation has a marketing plan to know in what direction they are facing in the future. As we know since before, the four P’s of marketing is the key to success for a business. As it is right now, Burry Bookstore misses one of the 4 P’s, which is the promotion.
The importance of a story is to have a purpose and meaning, through this, people are able to engage and learn with what is being told to them, it has to have a connection to the past, bringing it to the present and to involve both the body and mind senses. Through storytelling the audience should gain an understanding and have a sense of emotion touched and come alive, they should also be able to explore the possibilities within their culture and feel a deep connection to country.

A “narrative” is defined as being a “written or spoken account of connected events” (“Narrative”). Narratives come in various forms. For instance, in English class many of the short stories we read are narratives. However, movies, television shows and songs, are also examples of narratives. Even our lives are considered our own personal narratives in which we are the writer, the main character and often times the reader. The writings of our narratives help us make sense of some of the traumatic events we face throughout our lives (Gobodo-Madikizela and van der Merwe 2). In some cases, we make sense of these events by reading or listening to other people’s narrative.
...verything around us is made by our actions. Positive or negative they cause an effect that will ultimately lead to a different story base on how we interpret life. Narrative elements are used as a bridge by the directors in their film to create any master plot that is currently known. Any modification at any narrative element used by the director at important moments inside the story can help you portray a different master plot. This used of narrative elements can be best described as an ever changing process that takes place inside an individual’s head. Depending on the individual that may be exposed to those narrative elements can create different meanings. This new interpretation can be different for everyone. We have to be aware that one change in the surface scenery can lead to many ideal outcomes in our minds and that is the main power the audience has.
Storytelling has been mankind’s most broad and universal occupation since its conception and has come a long way, developing new techniques and expanding in multiple domains. It can be considered an ancient form of art because it is crucial for human expression. Every culture has made a contribution to the narration of stories in various fields, such as, entertainment, literature, education, the media and so forth, with the purpose of conveying an important message, or purely to entertain.
Social Media has become a part of life for most people. Researchers say that the average American checks their phone 46 times a day. It has been reported that those between the ages of 18-24 check their phones 74 times a day. (Eadicicco, 2015) As modern-day people we have become accustomed to the near-constant display of information and interactions. Which is what social media is, interaction. Whether its between people or companies it has become a constant in our lives. Phones are constantly chirping with notifications from emails, websites, apps, and messages. While this can be seen as good or bad, for the purpose of interactions between customer and consumer this is a good thing. Radio and Television stations now have the opportunity to
A common element shown in most stories is the input of characters. Characters are one of the most important components. They often lead the stories to many components of other literary elements. For example, they include conflict, plot, and resolution. Characters are commonly the main subjects and backbone of stories. They can serve as the protagonist and antagonist of stories, which leads to the pivotal points of stories. Stories with multiple characters do create more intense and in depth plots. It can create drama and intense emotions that can capture the audience. Characters also help the audience connect and create a better understanding. If characters within a story capture the audience it often creates a willingness to continu...
In this day and age we have become a surveillance society where individuals and groups record, store and analyse information as we got about our daily lives (Surveillance Studies Network, n.a). From its original use the camera phone has become extremely important and plays a key role in today’s surveillance society, through social media platform .These platforms have lead us to survey not only ourselves but others too, with the convergence of the camera phone and social media we can actively record and analyse memories for future reflection and publish media content, although the camera phone serves a great purpose, there has been countless debates over the invasion of privacy.
Storytelling is an art that has advanced and changed throughout the history of civilization. From Dante Alighieri’s; The Divine Comedy and The Epic of Gilgamesh; to modern day storytelling, such as cinematography, comics and more. Human kind has relied on storytelling in order to explain the unexplainable. These stories brought people and civilizations together. Religions took use of this, and allowed civilizations to control their citizens to some extent. Storytelling, has affected much of human history, however over the years storytelling itself has gone through much iteration and change.
Growing up in this generation, I have an understanding of what it is like to be raised in a digital world. As social media was introduced in the early 2000s, it became a simple and efficient way of connecting people all across the globe in lightning speed. Social media became a revolutionary outlet for people to express their thoughts and feelings. Sharing our moments and everyday experience with people came to be very easy to learn and quite addicting. Growing communities such Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, made it possible for one to form an identity online. In her essay, “The Way We Live Now: I Tweet, Therefore I Am”, Peggy Orenstein, an author of several best-selling books, discussed the ways in which posting content about ourselves
This article went in detail about an advertisement by Twitter that was shown during the Oscars on March 4, 2018. The commercial was made to address the current issues of women's rights and gender equality. This is one of the first commercials that Twitter has ever shown during the Oscars and they used the campaign #HereWeAre. The goal of this commercial was to spread awareness to the lack of women being promoted in the tech-industry. Twitter wanted to show that there are many strong, intelligent, and important women that go unrecognized for their talents. Though this advertisement went over well, some people had negative remarks to make regarding the commercial. Many people believed it was too similar to the online campaign that Twitter released over the summer, known as #SheInspiresMe. This campaign featured many iconic women and promoted female leadership in predominantly male businesses. Whereas, the Oscar version promoted many women in the film
