"Telling"

"Telling" is a storytelling technique where the narrator directly provides information to the audience, rather than showing it through actions or dialogue. It involves explaining thoughts, feelings, or events explicitly, making the narration straightforward and informative. This method helps to quickly convey important details or background but can sometimes reduce the sense of immersion or emotional engagement. Effective storytelling often balances "telling" with "showing," where scenes and characters' actions reveal information organically, allowing the audience to experience the story more vividly.
