What is it?
7 Elements of DS1. Point of View: What is the main point of the story and what is the perspective
of the author?2. A Dramatic Question: A key question that keeps the viewer's attention and
will be answered by the end of the story. 3. Emotional Content: Serious issues that come alive in a personal and
powerful way and connects the story to the audience. 4. The Gift of Your Voice: A way to personalize the story to help the audience
understand the context. 5. The Power of the Soundtrack: Music or other sounds that support and
embellish the storyline. 6. Economy: Using just enough content to tell the story without overloading the
viewer. 7. Pacing: The rhythm of the story and how slowly or quickly it progresses.
