Digital Storytelling

Digital storytelling is the use of images or video to tell a story. Music is usually also incorporated to help add to the overall effectiveness of the video. Powerpoint is a very basic example of Digital Storytelling. One can compile these images together using a program like iMovie or Animoto. These programs allow for the user to easily create a type of media which allows for storytelling. Digital Storytelling is a new and simple way for someone to learn and teach information.
In my future as a sport management major I see myself using Digital Storytelling a lot. Besides copyright infringement lesson it is by far the most useful thing I have learned. It can be used in my profession to make montages or videos for anyone ranging from a professional sports team to a little league baseball club. These edited videos can be used as a presentation to acquire sponsorships which can lead to real big money.
The video I pulled is from YouTube and it is of Tim Tebow. This video can used as a way to sell potential sponsors on the services of Mr. Tebow. Digital Storytelling can be used in numerous ways and this way is the most practical for my major. The YouTube video helps capture the emotion of Tim, way better than any video could.
