Knowra Visual storytelling Visual storytelling Visual storytelling communicates events or ideas through images and their arrangement, often using sequence, composition, and visual symbols to shape meaning.
Visual narrative : A narrative conveyed primarily through visual elements rather than verbal exposition. The broader form includes stories told through still images, moving images, and spatial arrangements.
Framing (visual arts) : The selection of what appears within the boundaries of an image. Framing includes or excludes details, shaping the information available in each moment.
Comics : A medium that uses sequences of images, often with words, to convey narratives or ideas. Panels, gutters, and page layouts make sequence and inference visible on the page.
Verbal storytelling : The communication of events or ideas through spoken or written language. It relies primarily on words, while visual storytelling makes images and their arrangement central.
Visual literacy : The ability to interpret, evaluate, and communicate meaning through visual information. Shared conventions help creators and audiences make sense of images and their relationships.
Point of view (narrative) : The position or perspective from which a narrative presents events and information. Visual viewpoint determines whose access, knowledge, or experience guides a scene.
Film : A medium that records or generates moving images, commonly presented with sound. Editing, camera movement, and duration let film shape stories across time.
Ekphrasis : A verbal description or interpretation of a visual artwork. It reverses the direction of communication by translating images into language.
Composition : The arrangement of visual elements within an image or designed space. Placement, balance, and emphasis direct attention and establish relationships between depicted elements.
Montage (filmmaking) : A film-editing technique that combines shots to create meaning, compression, or association. Juxtaposed shots can tell a story through associations rather than continuous action.
