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.
There are three main stages involved in making a digital story. These stages are:
| Planning - The planning stage of digital story telling includes writing your story, planning how the sound and images will fit together and organizing your assets. |
Making - The making part of digital story telling includes recording sound, creating images and then using software to edit the story together |
Sharing - The final stage of digital storytelling is sharing it with others. |
