Digital Storytelling is an introductory, online workshop on media production guided by filmmaker and mentor Paul Tom.
Students will navigate through hundreds of videos and interactive activities related to the different stages of film production. They will acquire the tools to create their own digital stories, dynamic videos composed of photos, narration and music, using accessible equipment such as their smartphones and widely available software.
This online workshop provides educators a step-by-step introduction to the fundamentals of digital storytelling, like:
- photography;
- editing;
- research;
- writing narration;
- online ethics;
- copyright;
- distribution.
