Scrollytelling based on spatial data is a powerful way to immerse readers both in the context of global events and in a local, personalised story.In this session, we will cover the technical aspects and the visual and narrative techniques that help create smooth, coherent, and engaging storytelling.We will look at some case studies based mainly on historical topics, but with approaches you can apply to a wide range of narratives. By the end of the session participants will have learned:
- how to develop the script for a visual story,
- what scrollytelling engines do, and how they work,
- what types of data you will need to work with, and
- how to prepare and process the data.
