So how do you react when told you must complete your first digital story and you have just 60 minutes? Panic? Zapped? Laid-back? Can-do-will-do? We had all of that and more on the second day of the Digital Storytelling workshop at the Goa University.
Why 60 minutes? The GoCreat DST workshops believe in learning using a hands-on method. And so, as part of teaching MS PhotoStory on day 2, participants are given a set of 20 images and 10 audio tracks. From these, they go on to script a story using no more than 6 images, their own voiceover and the available audio tracks as background music. And yes, there are just 60 minutes to do this in. There's no better way to learn a new skill than under pressure! Is there? Well ok, they did get some extra minutes, but hey, you get the drift, right?
And here are the films that came out of day 2...
The Big Question Mark by Avita Gonsalves
The Journey of Man by Jay Joshi
Life is Beautiful by Venisha Fernandes
A New Beginning by Munira de Souza
Dreamland by Navrishka Seebaluk
Success by Janet Sam
Its my Dream House by Carol D'Souza
The participants now work on their story draft, storyboard and collect visuals tomorrow, and get back on day 4 to create their very own movies. Stay tuned.
