Last Post :
In the last blog post, I talked about digital story telling, and I even mentioned a couple of examples of digital story telling. What I did miss out on was the process that some might take to create a digital story.
Now lets go into a little bit more detail on the process :
Some people may use a digital storyboard. Here is a quick look at what a digital storyboard may look like:
Digital Story Videos :
A digital story will show itself in its final product as a video! Like I mentioned in the last post, they may appear as a commercial, a project, a movie, or a documentary. To plan a video using a digital storyboard, creators will use images to symbolize how the story is progressing. Underneath the photos for these scenes, there will be an included script and description of what may be going on in the scene. Having a storyboard like this will allow for the creator to have a good outline and guide for creating the video itself.
Here is a video that shows an example of how some people may work through a digital story :
My own experience :
In my experience, creating videos for digital storytelling can be a very good way to describe a specific story that happened to me. It is also definitely a very long process that takes some time, and there are many elements that go into creating a video. For example, I had to look for specific photos that I could use that went along with the scenes and the story I was going to tell. I also had to keep the script more relevant to the story, so that I wouldn't continue to ramble about things not relating to the story. I also had to find a video editing software to edit and create the video itself. This software I believe is well known, and many others use this as well. :
Difficulties I faced :
I ran into a couple of issues that I ran into when creating my digital story. One of the most difficult things I found for myself was the audio. I had to time my voiceover correctly with the photos / scenes I included to tell the story. Although, overall I am a little bit more well versed in working with creating simple videos using some simple software (ex. iMovie).

Background : This digital story is more of a light and informal story. A small lesson that I learned while on vacation.
