What do you need to create a digital story?

A good basic guideline for digital storytelling is to have a story of no more than 250 words, a dozen or so photos and a finished piece of two minutes.

  • You will need a story in the form of a written script or an oral story.
  • You will need images to tell the story. These can be photographs, drawings or scanned images
  • You will need music and optional sound effects
  • You will need to make a storyboard. This is a basic plan on how your images, voice over and sound will fit together to tell your story.
