Storytelling: Digital Media
Quick! Tell me a story ... Film, video, video games and social media are telling us a story. What stories are you telling back? Learn to use film, social media, music and animation to tell a story. Explore the various aspects of visual storytelling in this exciting camp. It’s a whole new idea in camp—you are the storyteller and the center of the process and product.
Parents: Note that we will be watching some films during this week as we attempt to break apart the worldview of films.
Supply List
Bring your camera, cell phone, computer, personalities and notebooks. We will spend a day on different forms of storytelling and you will post to social media. Come and learn to tell a story!
