But that is probably all you can guess from the title. A digital story has several components which put it into that category. First of all, it must appeal to your emotions. You are trying to create a feeling more than a factual statement. To do this you will want to use media that sparks emotion visually. That is, you will use photos and images or video clips, sound and/or music, but very little text. The goal is to evoke an understanding in an emotional way, not to explain with words. Here is a good example of a digital story. How do you feel after watching? What was the message the creator wanted you to understand? Take a closer look as you watch again. Look for what media was used to create the affect and understanding.
