Digital Storytelling Course
Posted on September 08, 2004
If you've watched Harold Clinton's Lean on Me, then you're familiar with the powerful simplicity of digital storytelling. 13-year-old Herald was able to tell his story of community development and youth involvement through photos and narration edited together during a one day workshop in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Natasha Freidus, Director of Creative Narrations, the organization that co-produced Lean on Me is teaching an adult course in digital storytelling this fall:
You have stories to tell.
Stories about beginnings, culminations and endings, loves and losses,
Stories about places and people, events and recoveries.
Celebrations, memorials, victories.
Your memories.
What do you know about your family history?
How will it be remembered?
What tales are hidden in the photographs, artifacts, home movies, audio recordings you've collected over the years? Haven't found time to get all that memorabilia organized?
Get started with "Making Family Movies," an October 2004 class presented by Natasha Freidus and Jennifer Audley of Creative Narrations at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. Students in this intensive hands-on course will develop and produce an original short video using materials they provide and multimedia tools that are available in most community computer labs.
This is a great opportunity to learn about crafting a story in multimedia while building technical skills and confidence. We'll guide you from concept to a finished product that will delight your family and friends in just six class sessions!
