Workshop 1: Nonlinear storytelling & multi-media



Notes


  • using Twine, but any hypertext or linked platform can work as well (Wix, PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.)

  • create links by writing [[this]] or [[that]]

  • PUBLISH TO FILE to save, IMPORT FROM FILE to continue working on last version

  • in Twine we see the map of the linked nodes, but when we open the HTML file it will be in a normal story-telling format

  • can add media (images/music) and change formatting by adding HTML code



What did you do?


  • created a nonlinear narrative story with a main character, a motif, characters' background and a realistic setting

  • the reader is the main character. Their choices will determine the fate of the character

  • made 25 nodes that each connects to at least 1 other node

  • added pictures and sounds in certain nodes



What tools or skills did it require?


  • creative writing

  • logical understanding of the Twine environment

  • HTML coding for images and sound



What did you learn? How could you adapt it to other projects or contexts?


  • HTML coding: I understand the basic of adding images or sounds to an HTML file. This will be useful if I want to create some interactive digital media

  • Nonlinear environment: I learned about the structure of nonlinear stories and I could create some in my fun time. It can be an interesting game to teach children about things through choices that they make (I work part-time as a tutor)
