Before television there was radio. Before the radio there were books and, before the books there were storytellers.
What is Storytelling?
It is the art to tell stories to engage an audience. The storyteller conveys a message, information, and knowledge. A well-told story not only passed to the mass of people but also to generations and then again recited and passed. The story has the power to bring people together. Storytelling is all about connecting with people.
What is Story?
A narrative which accounts of an event or a sequence of events is a story. It can be fictional or true. A good story always has an element of truth, though if it is fiction. The message the story tells must be true.
Each story has emotions, characters, and sensory details. That's why a story grabs our attention, pulls us and delivers its key message powerfully.
Why it is Important ?
Things you need in storytelling -
- Man/Person - This is Important so that listeners can relate the story.
- Emotional through Line - This helps in satisfying listeners emotional experience.
People do not react to stories, they react to incidents. Incidents in stories are the major part in this only the listeners get excited, happy, sad etc and gets attached. The reaction of this incident is also important. Taking actions on the story because the audience wants to know how the person reacted on the incident.
If you want to be a storyteller just remember these two things -
- Every story is important just make it interactive and make people connect.
- Use 'kairos moments' (story worthy moments) in each story.
Facing difficulty in finding stories?
Why don't you share your own story and for that ask yourself these following questions and you will get your Story Worthy Moments.
- When were you most inspired in your life?
- When was the moment when you were really upset?
- The time you were filled with compassion
- The time you were filled with joy
- The time when you were really surprised.
Is the future of marketing the art of Digital Storytelling?
