An author uses words to tell their story, a video person or movie maker uses a different medium (video) for that purpose. The needs are the same, but the tools are different.  <\/p>\n<p>\nFor many of you this will be a new topic. Creating\/inventing stories is not the same thing as learning about the elements of story. The former describes the list of the elements of a story. The story creation process is when you can actually create one that has all the elements in it. <\/p>\n<p>This lesson introduces you to the elements of storytelling from a movie maker or videographer&#8217;s perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\nWatch the video and then do the activity below. <\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t<script type='text\/javascript'>\n\t\t\t\tif (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') { document.write('<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/emeclasses.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/hana-flv-player\/mediaelement\/build\/jquery.js\"><\\\/script>'); }\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n<style>.mejs-inner img { max-width:100%; max-height:100%; margin:0 ; padding:0 } \n\t\t\t\t.mejs-overlay-button, .mejs-overlay-loading  {display:none;}<\/style>\n\n\t\t\t\t<script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/emeclasses.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/hana-flv-player\/mediaelement\/build\/mediaelement-and-player.min.js'><\/script>\n\t\t\t\t<link rel='stylesheet' href='https:\/\/emeclasses.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/hana-flv-player\/mediaelement\/build\/mediaelementplayer.mod.css' \/>\n\t\t\t\t<!-- due to the bug - IE8 does not show video -->\n\t\t\t\t<!--[if IE 8]>\n\n<style> .me-plugin { position: static; } <\/style>\n\n<![endif]-->\n\t\t\t\t\n<div style='padding:0;margin:0; border:0;'><video  id='hana_flv_media_1'  src='http:\/\/rkenny.org\/shared_media\/visual_storytelling.mp4' width='400' height='300'  \n\tpreload='true'     controls='controls' >\t<object width=\"400\" height=\"300\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"https:\/\/emeclasses.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/hana-flv-player\/mediaelement\/build\/flashmediaelement.swf\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"https:\/\/emeclasses.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/hana-flv-player\/mediaelement\/build\/flashmediaelement.swf\" \/><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"controls=true&amp;file=http:\/\/rkenny.org\/shared_media\/visual_storytelling.mp4&amp;poster=\" \/><\/object><\/video><\/div>\n\n<script type='text\/javascript'>\n\n\t\t\t\tjQuery('#hana_flv_media_1').mediaelementplayer({ pauseOtherPlayers: false , pluginType:'youtube'   });\n\t\t\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800000\"><strong>Click on the video to play it.
