The term "visual narrative" has been used to describe several genres of visual storytelling, from news and information (
photojournalism, the
photo essay, the
documentary film) to entertainment (art, movies, television,
comic books, the
graphic novel). In short, any kind of a story, told visually, is a visual narrative. It can also be used as a form of
visual communication as people naturally use stories to understand the world and express their stories. In some circumstances, visual narrative can be misleading,
misinformative, or
disinformative. The corresponding discipline is called visual
narratology. Visual narrative might include: • stories from a point of view • images, still or moving • glimpses on a specific subject • an appeal for transformation in attitudes and behaviors ==See also==
