THE PROCESS
A
Digital Story is a 3-5 minute "mini-movie" based on
a real person’s experiences. They combine a story told in
the Storyteller’s own voice with other audio and visual
elements (photos and other images, music, and sound effects).
Creating a Digital
Story requires old-fashioned brainstorming, writing and research
as well as the use of modern computer technology to actually put
the story together.
The following are the basic steps in the process:
|
Brainstorming/Researching/Gathering
Come up with the Story idea and start finding the
additional elements (personal and other images, music,
sound effects) to illustrate your Story
|
|
Scripting
Write what the Storyteller will say. This should be
300-450 words.
|
|
Storyboarding
Build the visual "road map" for putting
your story's elements together.
|
|
Digitizing
Bring the story elements into the computer so you
can begin building your Story.
|
|
Editing
Build the Story on the computer, using video editing
software.
|
|
Premiere
Show your movie to your friends, family and the community…
