Digital storytelling? Sounds fun, but what is it?
What is it?
A digital story is a short film made from a script that tells a personal story illustrated with pictures from your photo album. The films are produced in the workshop in which all the skills are taught. Everybody has a story to tell and anyone can learn the techniques. Discover how to write a script and use new technology to turn it into a short piece of television.
How does it work?
The workshop begins with storytelling. Exploring ways of telling stories is an exciting and engaging process. Up to ten people in each workshop can participate in games to discover words and how to put them into a script. Inside your collection of photos and memorabilia are pictures that hold fascinating stories. Put the pictures and script together in a laptop computer with editing software and you have a film.
And it’s great FUN!
