Creating a digital story is not a difficult process as it is thought. If you have a story to tell, you can do it in a few easy steps.
1 If you want to write a story, you should have something to say first. It can be anything you want. You can tell
the story of your family, best friend, favourite sportsperson, or even the story of your pet. The characters might be
fictional or real.
2 Write a draft of your story and ask some people to read it and get feedback.
3 When your script is ready, your next step will be to record your story. You need a quiet place for this. It is better
to have a good microphone, too.
4 Selecting and editing the images is the third step. You can take your images from various sources. You can take
photos with a digital camera or find them on the Internet. Make a folder and put your images into it. It is a good idea
to put your pictures in order according to your story.
5 Use a video editing program to combine the sound and the images. Bring your audio clips in order. It is done by
placing the cursor on the timeline where you want the audio to be placed. Then, bring the images in the same way;
place them on the timeline on the video track.
6 Insert background music, titles, and effects. If you want to publish this digital story on the Internet, you should
be careful about commercial things because of the copyrights.
Your digital story is ready to be shared in 6 easy steps.
