Sound Effect Story – Digital Storytelling
https://upjdigitalstorytelling.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/sound-effect-story
Professor Marissa, University of Pittsburgh – Johnstown. February 10, 2015. February 10, 2015. Sound is incredibly powerful. The goal of the sound effect story is to eliminate as many other storytelling options as possible, to isolate sound as a method of conveying meaning or forging connection to your listeners. When our experience is reduced to a single sensory input, our brains work overtime to fill in the blanks with our powerful imaginations. Your sound effect stories. So you can go further in your ...

Digital Storytelling – Page 2 – Professor Marissa, University of Pittsburgh – Johnstown
https://upjdigitalstorytelling.wordpress.com/page/2
Professor Marissa, University of Pittsburgh – Johnstown. What other forces can shape a narrative or engage an audience’s emotions, when language is insufficient? Without story, we are lost, without connection.

The Video Essay – Digital Storytelling
https://upjdigitalstorytelling.wordpress.com/2015/03/18/the-video-essay
Professor Marissa, University of Pittsburgh – Johnstown. March 18, 2015. March 18, 2015. For our video projects, we want to take seeds. From the essayistic tradition and from the earliest film essayists to tell a story. Your video projects should take a little of Montaigne’s wandering, polyvalent, associative writing. And a little of Chris Marker’s poetic evocations. To transcend mere documentation of lived experience and become something more than the sum of its parts. More poetic, avant-garde).

Professor Marissa, University of Pittsburgh – Johnstown. March 4, 2015. March 4, 2015. As with our audio unit, I want to open up the video unit with a group activity designed to gradually move us into the art of moving art.

Groups will have the option of having their adventure together, or having three different...
