Digital storytelling in video game design refers to production elements, such as audio, video and animation, but it also refers to storytelling elements, such as universal themes, symbols and narratives. Digital storytelling uses media production and film techniques to create plot lines, events, characters and conclusions of video games. Modern video games enhance the user’s experience through greater interactivity and impressive multimedia content.
Digital storytelling empowers students to be confident communicators and creators of media as they gain essential 21st-century literacy skills and reach deeper understanding in all areas of the curriculum.
