DIGITALES What is it? A short ”movie”, 1-3 minutes long written by the author spoken and recorded by the author illustrated with the photos or drawings of the author can include videos, music or animation made by the author
DIGITALES Digitale-method was developed in the US to record the memories of the members of communities www.storycenter.org The method based on workshops was developed In Europe. www.digi-tales.org
About Digital Storytelling ”Digital Storytelling takes the ancient art of oral storytelling and engages a palette of technical tools to weave personal tales using images, graphics, music and sound mixed together with the author's own story voice. Digital storytelling is an emerging art form of personal, heartful expression that enables individuals and communities to reclaim their personal cultures while exploring their artistic creativity. While the heart and power of the digital story is shaping a personal digital story about self, family, ideas, or experiences, the technology tools also invite writers and artists to think and invent new types of communication outside the realm of traditional linear narratives.” (http://www.digitales.us/about/index.php)
DIGITALES Aim: Anyone can do a short video about the subject the person finds important to him/herself
DIGITALES Method: Getting the idea for the story Writing down the story / Planning of the illustration (storyboard) Getting more photos/drawings etc. if needed Recording of the story (voice over) Editing on a computer (Movie Maker) Viewing of the videos together and feedback
DIGITALES Storyboard Helps you to embody how to put together the text and your pictures and how it will look like when it’s ready You can easily see if you need more illustration / text is too long Saves time when editing = better planned http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/s/images/storyboard_seniorcorps.jpg
DIGITALES Example of a simple storyboard & illustration “When I was a child, I wasn’t behaving well. I was on my way to become a teenager with a lot of problems, BUT luckily I found an adult who put me on a right track. With him, I found sports and it might have saved me. I put my energy into training and I stopped doing stupid things. At the gym I also got new friends. Now I’m feeling great and I’m sure that I’m a better person. My life is in balance. I’m sorry for those that I hurt when I was younger, I surely deserve a slap in the face. But I hope that you can forgive me. I wish you all the best in your life!”
DIGITALES What is needed? Technical requirements: Computer (Movie Maker or other) Microphone / other sound recorder (for ex. Zoom H2) Scanner and/or digital camera Memory stick / DVDs Other requirements: Idea Photos / drawings / paintings etc. (Notice: permission to use) Imagination Time (appr. 3 days)
DIGITALES What is it for? Sharing of the memories / experiences Learning technical and storytelling skills Expression of an opinion/idea (/self-expression) Visual story (illustration for a text) Learning/teaching tool (vs. group work at school) Participation / empowerment = therapy tool for immigrants, mental patients, unemployed etc.
DIGITALES Tool of empowerment People in a challenging situation can use the method to handle a personal issue Writing a story can be therapeutic Learning technical skills can be the most important thing to someone Support of the group important Experience of success when the work is finished
DIGITALES Challenges! Technical problems and the availability of the machines Lack of time / use of time (enough help, also technical) Lack of commitment / motivation of the participants Influence of the leader/teacher on the content Method must be modified according to the target group
