What is a Media?

A Media is a multimedia element inside the POI/en.

We can imagine the POI as a picture book. The storytelling is composed of photos or videos with brief captions.

The pages of this book - Media and News - must be ordered in Chapters (Context, History, Architecture, etc.) in order to obtain an interesting and effective story.

Fields

Title

Short sentence or word to describe the presented video or image.

The title appears on the POI dossier followed by other Media's titles, in order to create a sort of index of the whole story of the POI. To obtain the effect of a storytelling, you should keep in mind that the order of the Chapters is mandatory (see #Chapters) and that you can reorder Media inside each chapter (see #Order in Chapters).

Chapter

Subdivision to organize the story of the POI, equal to the organization of the chapters of a book.

To create an ordered storytelling of the POI, Media are assigned to established Chapters: News, Presentation, Context, Places, History, Architecture, Projects, events, Details, Stories, Extra materials. The order of the Chapters is fixed, Media, instead, could be organized inside the chapters (see POI guide: Types of visualization).

Link to POI

Name of the POI in which is inserted the Media or the News.

You must link the Media to a POI. Media or News can be linked to more than one POI.

Text

Text related to image or video.

The content should refer to image or to the video, keeping in mind that it will be read as a paragraph of the whole story of the POI. Each text should explain as that particular Media or News adds something special to the whole story. Try to avoid repetition or too specialistic insights (for those you can add the link to the website).

Suggested length 500 digits spaces included. Maximum 800 digits.

Language botton

To add the description in other languages: available in Italiano, English, Français, 中文 so far.

Caption

Brief text referred to Media description and its content.

(Example: image title, clarification on the photo's angle, etc.)

Suggested length 100 digits spaces included. Maximum 150 digits.

Add Tag

Add Tag

Insertion of some keywords to characterize the element and eventually link it to others. The operation is facilitated by the suggestion of existing Tag when you start to digit a name, but you can also create new ones.

Multimedia File

The Multimedia file is the fundamental content of Media and News.

If it is an image, a video, an audio file, a PDF text, use the button Upload, which opens a specific window. Otherwise, if you want to use a video on Youtube you should use the sharing code generated by Youtube. Through the function "Upload preview" you can add a preview image of the video.
