Digital Storytelling Swansea
 

HOW TO MAKE A DIGITAL STORY

Making a digital story is both fun and educational, you don't need any prior writing or technical experience to be able to produce a great video.

The process is very simple and usually runs in this order:

1. Story generation through fun games
2. Write a first draft of about 250 words
3. Complete final draft of script
4. Record voice over
5. Scan images or take new ones using a digital camera
6. Edit the video and audio together

The most important part is your story, no more time is spent on computers than with a pen and paper. For many people editing a video with a computer is quite frightening but it needn't be, we work closely with you every step of the way. You are free to do as much or as little as you please during the latter stages, we use very simple software and most people overcome their fear and, to their own amazement, complete all 6 stages themselves.

A digital story can be made using free software and this is what we will use during the training, so on completion of your first story you will be able to continue making more at home with software that will either already be on your computer or available free of charge on the internet. We can make stories with you on either Windows PC's or Mac's, using the following software:

Windows
- Audacity (audio)
- GIMP (image)
- Movie Maker (editing)

MAC
- Audacity (audio)
- iPhoto (image)
- iMovie (editing)

When your story is completed it will be transfered to a DVD that you will be able to play on any home DVD player, perfect for showing your friends and family. We can also help you upload it to the internet to share with people from all over the world.
