Digital Storytelling

Description

“Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. Digital stories can vary in length, but most of the stories used in education typically last between two and ten minutes. The topics that are used in Digital Storytelling range from personal tales to the recounting of historical events, from exploring life in one’s own community to the search for life in other corners of the universe, and literally, everything in between.”

“Tell me a fact and I’ll learn.
Tell me a truth and I’ll believe.
But tell me a story & it will live in my heart forever.”
-Indian Proverb

“Digital Storytelling is the modern
expression of the ancient art of storytelling.
Digital stories derive their power
by weaving images, music, narrative
& voice together, thereby giving deep dimension
and vivid color to characters, situations, experiences,
and insights.”

– Leslie Rule, Center for Digital Storytelling

For our new grads: HOW TO: Set Up an Online Resume

The Media Center’s twitter account subscribes to a few great sites that help us keep up with all things media!  We retweet some gems as they surface but I thought this one from Mashable was helpful for our newest grads so I wanted to highlight it.

Sure, it’s not for everyone, but for a few creative & courageous souls it might just be a perfect fit.  There are some different options they lay out in the article but all are highly engaging & informative, with the right dose of fun attached.

Short Film Showcase

The Media Center is always a busy place but during the spring semester it rises to a whole new level of chaos.  Although many projects are worked on, our heightened level of crazy can be attributed to the two film courses that are offered in the Spring.

These students camped out here for days at a time editing their productions and finally were able to show off their work last week in 2 separate film showings.  For those of you who missed them, you still have a chance to view some of the short films here.  A few students allowed us to link to their uploaded videos.

Two of these came from the Film Production class and one came from the Documentary Film class.  Enjoy!
