Linear Storytelling
Linear storytelling presents events in a chronological order. In digital media, this technique is commonly used in online articles, videos, or animations to provide a straightforward narrative.
Cross-media Storytelling
Cross-media storytelling is similar to transmedia storytelling but often refers to a single story adapted across different media forms. In digital media, a novel might be adapted into a web series, game, or podcast.
Visual Storytelling
Visual storytelling relies on images and visual elements to convey the narrative. In digital media, it's used in photo essays, videos, and animations to evoke emotion and convey information without relying solely on text.
User-generated Storytelling
User-generated storytelling is created by the audience rather than professional storytellers. Social media platforms are the main outlet, enabling users to share their own stories, reviews, and experiences.
Interactive Storytelling
Interactive storytelling incorporates the user's input to influence the narrative. In digital media, this is applied in interactive videos, video games, and some educational software, where user decisions change the story outcome.
Transmedia Storytelling
Transmedia storytelling spreads a narrative across multiple platforms and formats. Digital media takes advantage of this through coordinated storytelling across websites, social media, apps, and online videos.
Serial Storytelling
Serial storytelling tells a story in a serialized format, with a continuous narrative over multiple episodes or installations. Series on streaming platforms or serialized blog posts are digital examples.
360-degree Storytelling
360-degree storytelling presents a narrative in a way that surrounds the audience, creating a sense of presence. Digital media utilizes this technique through 360-degree videos and panoramic photography.
Spreadable Storytelling
Spreadable storytelling is designed to be shared across social networks. Memes, viral videos, and shareable articles on digital platforms encourage distributions, discussion, and audience engagement.
Audio Storytelling
Audio storytelling uses sound to tell a story. Podcasts and digital radio are prime examples where voice, music, and sound effects come together to create a narrative experience in the absence of visual elements.
Microcontent Storytelling
Microcontent storytelling delivers the narrative in small, self-contained units. This technique is popular in digital media on platforms like Twitter or Instagram, often used for marketing or short-form entertainment.
Non-linear Storytelling
Non-linear storytelling involves a non-sequential narrative. Digital media applies this through interactive websites, hypertexts and some video games allowing users to explore the story in an order they choose.
Data-driven Storytelling
Data-driven storytelling utilizes data and analytics to inform the narrative. Digital media employs this in infographics, interactive charts, and data visualization tools to make complex information engaging and understandable.
Immersive Storytelling
Immersive storytelling engages the audience's senses to create a more encompassing narrative experience. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in digital media are prime examples of immersive storytelling.
Gamified Storytelling
Gamified storytelling involves integrating game mechanics into the narrative to engage the audience. In digital media, this is applied through interactive quizzes, loyalty programs, and educational games that incorporate storytelling elements.
