The Digital Story telli ng Sta ndard 3-Day Work sh op
Curriculum
The goal of the workshop is to design and produce a 3 minute digital story
centered around your personal narrative. The workshops are usually held as
all day, contiguous day intensives, involving 5-10 participants. Participants are
given materials prior to the workshop to assist them in preparation, including
suggestions of limits in script duration, number of images, and use of video
clips.
The workshop involves four major components:
1. Presentation of Seven Elements of Digital Storytelling
As both a guide to scripting and design, and as a showcase for design
examples, each workshop begins with a lecture-demonstration as guidelines to
creating a digital story. Outstanding examples that illustrate the elements are

3. presented as well.
2. Group Script Process
As in a creative writing class, we facilitate a review of story ideas or actual
scripts as a group process. Both the general approach and specific editorial
issues are addressed, and issues of storyboarding and design are touched
upon.
3. Hands On Software Tutorials
Participants are taken step by step through the basics of the software used in
the process. While we often cover one professional-level video editing software
in the course (Final Cut), the process can be done with a large number of
alternative tools as well such as Premiere, Final Cut or iMovie. We also teach
image manipulation, sound recording and some video compression.
4. Production Support and Management
Most of the workshop is spent with participants working on producing their
own projects, with their own ambition and pace. CDS staff has trained
extensively on the process of assisting users during the various steps of
multimedia production. Great attention is given to time management,
troubleshooting, and prioritizing the process to assure the participants achieve
the goal of a completed project. Additionally, the educator workshops will
touch on integration of this type of media/exercise within curriculum for
teachers and how this type of work increases media literacy not only for
teachers but for their students.
