Hello, now that you sort of know what digital story telling is I am going to go into a little more in depth about how one creates a digital story telling project.

As I emphasized before the story you tell is reliant upon the content you attach to it. Don’t worry about the digital aspect of it until you sit down and actually make the video. Since digital story telling is a kind of personal narrative, in most cases, beginning with the narrative aspect of it will set you up for an excellent finished product.

So at this point you know what you want to talk about, you have content but you need to form that content into a story. Remembering the details of your content can be challenging, you can be caught up in a series of events that aren’t a part of your main goal of telling this story. The story’s structure and flow is very important.

Here is an excellent example of a digital story a WeVideo employee created:

Next we are going to talk about creating the all important narration for your project. Let’s make a script!
