Description
In this subject, students develop knowledge and practice in multimodal storytelling for strategic communication campaigns. Students are introduced to the concept of strategic writing – functional writing undertaken with the intent to persuade important stakeholders. Students explore and experiment with a range of written and visual genres and styles for contemporary practice, including long and short form advertisements, news releases, feature/profile articles, electronic direct mail, advertorials, and digital/social media (creating persuasive, strategic multimodal stories for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram Twitter and Linkedin). They examine the requirements of the different genres and styles for multimodal storytelling along with the theories of rhetoric, narrative, persuasion, semiotics and social media, as applicable in strategic communication.
