What is Digital Storytelling? Digital Storytelling is the process of writing about a

story, and adding the multimedia elements of voice, imagery, and music to create a visual story.

They can inform, persuade, entertain….

Personal or Academic Narratives: A personal story is one that involves a personal change or

realization. This could be a family story about the value of a childhood experience, a reunion in which you reconnect with a long lost friend, a hero in your family,

Digital storytelling can also be used in the content areas as an academic story or "unit of instruction" story. This can be a story about any concept, unit or idea from any area of the curriculum, from math to social studies.

+Storyboard Questions

Who is your audience? Who will you be talking to in video?

What is the message of the video? What is its purpose?

What is your method of delivery? Close-Ups: details, expressions/emotions Medium Shots: Usually involve one or two

people and mainly used for interaction Long Shots: Used to set the scene (establish

your place)Let the audience know where the action is taking place….

• Remember that the storyboard is not the END product itself. Students should not waste time making the storyboard perfect. Stick figures or circles can substitute for figures or objects.

• Every scene should be part of your message/purpose. Don’t use it if it is not part of your message.

• Storyboards are for major scenes. Don’t try to make every single frame….

Video Tips

When shooting outdoors, keep the sun behind you. Beware of windows.

Plan your shoot. Shoot to edit.

Use a tripod or other image stabilization device.

For handheld stability, imagine that your camcorder is a very full cup of hot coffee.

Use a silent backcount: 5-4-3-2-1

Page 28: + Digital Storytelling for Students. Digital Storytelling What is Digital Storytelling? Personal and Academic Narrative Three formats for Digital Storytelling

Video Tips

Use the zoom to compose your shot. Avoid zooming while the tape is rolling.

Move the camera only when necessary. Pan from left to right slowly!

Keep your average shot length between 5 and 10 seconds. Keep the shot steady (no zoom or pan) for at least 10 seconds.

Watch for distractions behind the talent.
