What is digital storytelling?

"Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of
the ancient art of storytelling. Throughout
history, storytelling has been used to share
knowledge, wisdom, and values. Stories have
taken many forms. Stories have been adapted to
each successive medium that has emerged, from
the circle of the campfire, to the silver screen,
and now the computer screen."

                         Joe Lambert, Digital Storytelling Cookbook
Topics for Educators’ Stories
   why you chose your profession or one of your hobbies
   memories of:
       learning to read and write
       learning to use a computer or go on the web for the first time
       learning how to become a good student

   an “embarrassing moment” that was particularly educational
   an event that changed your attitudes about an issue or inspired
    you to fight for a cause
   a powerful memory about a pet, event, or friend
   an incident that illustrates the value of something you learned in
    school that you thought at the time would have no practical value
A word about expectations

 We spend most of our grade school and college
   years learning how to write well, and yet very few
   master the skill well enough to be published, much
   less widely read

 The digital stories most of us make are not likely to
   ever be nominated for Academy Awards!

 One benefit of a workshop is to help you develop
   reasonable expectations for student projects
 Brainstorm a few possible
              topic ideas for a 2-3 minute
              practice digital story
            Consider what would give you
              the most hands-on experience
                 (with a variety of media)


Workshop   TIP: Brainstorm in writing so you
  Step
           can add to it later

STEP 2: GATHERING ASSETS
Types of Assets

   Digital Media                   Sources
 photos & other images    archival footage

 video clips              media labeled for reuse

 audio clips              media used with
                             permission
 narration
                           self-produced
 music & sound effects

 animations

 text
File Formats

 File format needed depends on which app you use
   to assemble the story
    such as iMovie, MovieMaker, PowerPoint

 Common digital media file formats:
    Images: jpg, png, gif, tif
    Video: wmv, mov, m4v, mp4
    Audio: wma, wav, mp3, m4a
Tips for Working with Assets

 Download, scan, or create images in highest quality
   possible
 Modify images in tiff or native image app format, not
   jpg
    Save jpg format for exported version

 Name (or re-name) with helpful file names
   But don’t change file extensions (like .jpg)

 For video, choose what works best with assembly app
   May not be highest quality option
Asset Management

PLANNING TIP: Think ahead to develop a
strategy for managing your assets, but remain
flexible and experiment.
 Mac users: put assets into iLife apps (iPhoto
   and iTunes) or a folder
 Windows users: put assets into WindowsLive
   apps or a folder
 If you brought your own assets,
              access them now.
            If on a lab Mac:
              Try putting assets into iPhoto
                 and iTunes
              If that doesn’t work:
                  create a new folder on the
                   desktop
                  give it an appropriate name
Workshop
  Step            save your files there
               (or work from a portable storage drive)
Finding Assets

 Search for images with creative commons licenses
   or otherwise marked as copyright-free

 Images
    Google Images, Flickr, many others

 Videos
    YouTube, Vimeo, Archive.org

 Audio
    DigCCMixter.org, Freesound.org
Tips for Downloading

 Find the highest quality available
   depending on your bandwidth limits

 Use a browser tool like Download Helper (for
   Firefox) to access embedded videos
    also offers conversion and audio stripping

 Rename files for clarity, as needed
   x&4lxp8w.jpg is not a helpful file name

 Right-click or control-click on image or file to
   download
 Downloading mp3 from dig.ccmixter.org
 Downloading movie file from archive.org
 Search for some usable media
              download 2-4 images
              download an mp3 audio file
                (optional)
              download a video clip
                (optional)

            Put files in iPhoto and iTunes or
              assets folder
Workshop       rename as needed
  Step
For Later: Creating Assets

 Record your own video with QuickTime X or iMovie
   (Mac) or MovieMaker (PC)
       or digital camcorder or smartphone

 Record audio narration with QuickTime X, iMovie, or
   GarageBand (Mac) or Sound Recorder or Audacity (PC)
       or smartphone

 Take your own photos with a digital point-and-shoot,
   SLR, or smartphone camera

 Create images in Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar apps
STEP 3: EXPLORE STORYTELLING   
STRATEGIES
7 Elements of Digital Storytelling

   1. Point of View What is the            4. The Gift of Your Voice A way to
    main point of the story and what         personalize the story to help the
    is the perspective of the author?        audience understand the context.

   2. A Dramatic Question A key            5. The Power of the Soundtrack
    question that keeps the viewer's         Music or other sounds that support
    attention and will be answered           and embellish the storyline.
    by the end of the story.
                                            6. Economy Using just enough
   3. Emotional Content Serious             content to tell the story without
    issues that come alive in a              overloading the viewer.
    personal and powerful way and
    connects the story to the               7. Pacing The rhythm of the story
    audience.                                and how slowly or quickly it
                                             progresses.


                                        From the Center for Digital Storytelling
Traditional Narrative Techniques
 Show, don’t tell!
 Offer details of character, place, and setting
   Include sensory details like taste, touch, smell, sound
   Use dialogue to convey conversations

 Experiment with plot
   chronological is not always the most interesting
   start in the middle, not at the beginning
   follow a narrative arc, not an outline

 Build up anticipation with foreshadowing
 Focus on a central theme
Digital Narrative Techniques

 Let the images, video clips, sound track, and other
   elements do some of the “talking” for you
      each element contributes meaning:
       images, narration, music, text, effects, and transitions
      elements can complement or contradict your
       message, depending on the desired effect

 Go easy on the effects and transitions
      use the most subtle unless the effect or transition is
       meant to convey additional meaning

STEP 4: STORYBOARDING
What is a Storyboard?

 Method of planning a visual composition by
   mapping it out scene by scene
    Describe digital media clip, narration, effects,
      soundtrack, transition out, etc.

 Tools: PowerPoint, Word tables, Comic Life,
   Stickies, print or “virtual” index cards, etc.
    lots of Word and PDF storyboard templates
      available online

STEP 6: EXPORTING
Exporting: Overview

 iMovie regularly saves your project as you work on
   it, but you can’t share the iMovie file itself

 To share a movie with a friend or to upload it to the
   web, you must first EXPORT a web-ready version

 The resulting file will end in .m4v, which you can
   upload to most video hosting sites or share via
   Google Docs or Dropbox
    The file may be too large to send by email
 Go to the Share menu

            Select Export Movie

            Specify file name and location

            Choose medium

            Click OK

   YouTube, Vimeo, or Google Docs
    provide URL to video on site
    use embed code on blog or web page
    enable privacy options, if applicable

 Upload to CMS or web space
   Make file available for download
   Use custom-installed player
 Log into account on Vimeo,
              YouTube, Google Docs, or
              Dropbox
            Click Upload

            While video uploads, add
              relevant info (if applicable)

  1. MY INTRO: Instructor and Digital Composition Coordinator for the PWR at CU BoulderGiven lots of workshops and presentations for faculty on aspects of digital composition, with special interest in digital storytellingGot interested in digital storytelling when a student wanted to add photos to her personal narrative essay; suggested she use iMovie and the project really took offStarted assigning digital storytelling projects in most of my classes and will be teaching a whole class on it next semester.Also: attended an independent school for K-12 (not an AISL member but a rival of one of them) and really value the education I received thereQUESTIONS: How familiar are you with digital storytelling? How might you use it?
  2. I’m hoping this workshop will help you to…
  3. Coming next: a short sample from the man behind 50 ways to tell a digital storyLeslie Rule, Digital storytelling association, 2009Conveying ideas or values using a narrative frameworkancient and intuitive human practicehow we make sense of the worldGrounding ideas in everyday lived experience rather than abstractionskey players are people, not ideasdesire to understand behavior and find coherence and meaning drive story forwardPAUSE a few beats after each main point
  4. Alan Levine set out to explore how to use a variety of free digital tools to tell a story about his dog, Dominoe. We’ll use his story as an example for the kind of project we’ll learn to create.
  5. Sample photo story
  6. How do you produce your own digital story?
  7. Not necessarily a linear process. Some steps are recursive. Helps to know the whole process before starting.
  8. There are other approaches as well, but these are commonWorth considering in the planning processThese are two approaches to the process BEFORE you put the photo essay together in iMovie
  9. Applications should be in dockOr look in Applications folder
  10. tried and true planning strategies taught in compositionclasses
  11. THINK ABOUT what purposes appeal to you for a practice activity(hoping you already have some ideas)
  12. Highly recommend checking out the Center for Digital Storytelling and the Cookbook (links on web page for workshop)First four chapters available for free, rich with good info. My students found it very helpful.
  13. What topics are appropriate for librarians?Literacy narratives are a common assignment in English, writing, language arts, etc.Digital Archive of Literacy Narrativeshttp://daln.osu.edu/
  14. Give yourself permission to make a crappy photo essay! (just as it helps to have permission to write badly)
  15. See faculty topic questions on web site
  16. ASSETSis the word used by multimedia composers to describe all the parts you might want to use to assemble a digital storySome might say that STORYBOARDING should come next, but sometimes the story you can tell is limited by the assets you can find.
  17. May need to use image, audio, or video editing app to change formatSometimes need media convertersText: can be on a title slide or in an imageWe’ll be using image files: jpg and png
  18. Basic apps for image, audio, and video editing come free on your computer or available for free on the webMore advanced options available at a range of pricesJPG is compressed format that re-compresses with each save; fine for export but not image in progress
  19. You can drag images into iMovie, but not videos. Dragging audio not recommended.Use QuickTime to edit or strip audioOther tools to use for planning: - folders and sub-folders - Evernote or other synching app to manage files (with categories and tags)
  20. I’ll show you how to save your project files and get everything off the lab computers laterIDEALLY: you’ll have a few photos and an audio clip, maybe also a video - might also download from web instead
  21. say something about creative commons and fair usePUT LINKS ON BOARD?renaming, saving, converting or resizing if necessarydon't re-save jpgs oftenAlso choose version that will work with your assembly app (mp4 or mp2 should work with all)http://www.archive.org/details/TheNewMa1987basics of file formatshow to save as, export, or convert into the appropriate file formats
  22. DEMO coming up on next slideBut also demo on live web page?
  23. Right click or control click on a link and choose “Save link as”
  24. Might want to download some media even if you brought your own assets“Usable” ultimately should mean Creative Commons or copyright free, but anything goes for today’s practice activity - worth considering how to approach this with students: is it ever OK to “borrow” images without permission?
  25. These are strategies you can try LATER(may demonstrate basics when we start with hands-on in iMovie)
  26. 7 elements of storytelling
  27. Narrative arc: do what makes sense for your subject matterCommon story pattern: stasis, conflict, disruption, resolution (as seen in Patient Voices sample)
  28. Consider the value of juxtaposition and contradictioneffects     - title cards     - caption cards     - transitions     - photo effects (Ken Burns, crop, etc.)     - closing creditsassemblyapps: video, presentation, photosupporting players
  29. Might also write in script format, describing digital media clip rather than including it** Acts and scenes are the units of thought, rather than sections or paragraphsNOTE on using Word: dragging images in for planning is ok, but don’t try to get them back out; use original fileStickies for Mac: virtual post-it notes
  30. Here’s an overview of what goes on a storyboard - Will demo how to use later
  31. From a project I’m working on: my digital literacy narrative - collecting these from anyone who’d like to share - shareyourdigitalstories.net
  32. Will need to return later to work on this once you learn more about the kinds of effects and transitions available
  33. We will take the approach of assembling assets and then adding audio narration* Should be here no later than 11am!
  34. Just going over the basics now. Ease yourself into it.Don’t try to learn what everything does all at once.iMovie SAVES FOR YOU, automaticallyWhat menu settings??
  35. I usually use Standard for photo essays unless I’m certain I’ll benefit from the wider screen
  36. Could record a bit of video if you don’t have any to import. Click the camera icon.ROUND ROBIN ACTIVITYif time allows, interview yourself or a partner(use title cards for questions)
  37. We will take the approach of assembling assets and then adding audio narration
  38. Sample of alternative:https://vimeo.com/24706473
  39. NOTE: Title cards can be dragged on top of photos, but subtitle cards are better for this purpose(Images can be layered on top of each other with advanced tools: cutaway)
  40. We will take the approach of assembling assets and then adding audio narration
  41. Note: “fit” and “cropping” both work for VIDEOS as well as photosFIT: is best for images that really can’t be panned or zoomed without losing the key person’s face
  42. Note: “fit” and “cropping” both work for VIDEOS as well as photosFIT: is best for images that really can’t be panned or zoomed without losing the key person’s face
  43. We will take the approach of assembling assets and then adding audio narration
  44. We will take the approach of assembling assets and then adding audio narration
  45. - Play around with sound effects and put a few inAlso put in some audio you downloaded Can layer multiple audio tracksCan also RECORD your own audio narration; click microphone button
  46. We will take the approach of assembling assets and then adding audio narration
  47. Other web ready formats include mp4 and movIn Windows, web-ready is wmv
  48. Just do this now: I’ll explain why in a minute.Exporting always takes time. If it doesn’t, you didn’t do it right.
  49. Highly recommend using standard video hosting sites, as that helps you and students become accustomed to how they work - I prefer Vimeo for quality and length - but YouTube is most likely to get traffic and is linked everywhere
  50. (or just watch as I demo on screen)
  51. I can help with external HD – we’ll figure out later how to get files to you.Move on to discussion, and I can help individuals with saving files.
