Basic elements of digital storytelling, beside the text and a story to tell, are: video footage, photos, pictures or illustrations; background music and other sounds or audio recordings. Digital storytelling is an art of joining verbal or written story we choose or create on our own with other art forms into visually telling a compelling story.
