A Digital Storytelling Workshop partnership between DPSN and multimedia organisation MIC Toi Rerehiko.

Digital Storytelling encourages people to tell their story on film, ranging from standard “head and shoulder” documentary style with linear storylines, to more poetic and visually creative pieces that are less about story and more about individual feelings and ideas.

The Workshop starts with introductions and group discussion on each individuals story and ideas. As each participant develops their own concepts, they begin to write out and storyboard their film.

Once the main concept is finalised, participants go on to learn filming, sound recording, voice over and scanning of non-digital elements such as photos and drawings. Finally, they learn to use digital editing software to complete their film for burning onto DVD and/or streaming over the internet.
