1. Point of view: the main point 2. Dramatic question: the key question 3. Emotional content: writing that will take hold of audience 4. The gift of your voice: narration of the text5. Soundtrack: thoughtfully selected sounds and music 6. Economy: a small number of images or video and a fairly short text7. Pacing: the rhythm of a story and how slowly or quickly it moves
