Top 5 Storytelling Tools | Submarine Channel

Top 5 Storytelling Tools | Submarine Channel | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Almost two years ago in April 2012, we published our Top 5 Storytelling Apps, our pick of the best desktop and mobile apps to help storytellers share their narratives. In today’s digital world, storytelling and technology have become intrinsically linked – both feeding each other to make storytelling more engaging, more fitting to the demands and habits of audiences and offering never-before-seen avenues of interactivity.


Perhaps once the dream of journalism professors, multimedia storytelling is gaining momentum. Whether it’s journalists, filmmakers, documentarists, marketeers or brands – the importance of good storytelling is leading more people to abandon walls of text and a single media approach and instead adopt range of different media to draw in their audiences....


So without further ado, let’s take a look at Submarine Channel’s Top 5 Storytelling Tools...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Four of these five storytelling tools were new to me! At first glance, they are each worth exploring depending on your needs and interest in more captivating and engaging storytelling. Nicely reviewed by Simon Byrne.

50+Ways - How to find Story Ideas

50+Ways - How to find Story Ideas | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Every story had to have some moment that was there to amuse me — a funny moment, an emotional moment, some original observation I’d made on the scene that no other reporter had. It could just be a nice moment in the script. Every story had to have someone who was more than a talking head, spouting out their point of view on the issue of the day.


To make them more human, it sometimes only took a line of description, an original thought about who they were and why they believed what they believed, a surprising moment, a funny moment on tape.If you cannot find a deep interest in the story to begin with, that's a warning since. As Pixar Filmmaker Andrew Stanton advises in his TED Talk on The Clues to a Great Story:


And that's the first story lesson I ever learned. Use what you know. Draw from it. It doesn't always mean plot or fact. It means capturing a truth from your experiencing it, expressing values you personally feel deep down in your core....

Storination : Storination

Storination : Storination | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Why join storination?

To create in less than a minute a beautiful Storyboard with awesome content curated by you and others.
Storination lets you create online communities called a Nation, where people share social stories on the same topic. After opening your Nation, you organize your Storyboard, a virtual space where anybody can contribute by adding his own Storify story.


How to start a Nation ?

Connect with your twitter account and open your first Nation. A Nation is an online community on any kind of topic. It's a space where you and other people add into a storyboard social stories. Customize your Nation like a blog by uploading a logo, and a large cover. Now, you can publish a Storify story by collecting photos, video, tweets... or If you prefer, just import social stories directly from Storify to your Nation.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

I'm looking forward to exploring this tool which fits together nicely with Storify.

Jeff Domansky's curator insight, July 1, 2013 3:09 PM

Storination is a new storytelling tool with tons of potential. Just starting to explore but it looks exciting for collaborative storytelling and community building around stories, themes or ideas. Hat tip to Giuseppe Mauriello for pointing it out.
