non-lineer visual story telling
Guidebook when using Freemind (for dummies)
1. Find similarities and oppositions between different stories. Use graphical link to emphasis them. For example; red links for opposition, green links for similarities.
2. Use small thumbnails as possible for the images.
3. A story can be branched in itself. This means there can be many variations of one story, they can end up with the same final image or with different final images for each variation.
4.Find a way to embed video and audio in freemind.
5. It would be great to have a feature such as “pre-defined paths” in order to follow different story flows easily.
6. It would be great if you could upload an uneditable version of the project on the net.
7. Use image randomizers from sites like sxc.hu/flickr to enable happy accidents in your stories.
8. Never forget these rules while working on a new story!
9. Always update this post when you have a brillant new rule.
