What's Your Story?

Center for Digital Storytelling

Last week we talked about how the media uses visuals to send out a message about what they think is beautiful.

This week we are going to start our own media project to send out OUR message.

In class we will:
- Watch a few videos from the Story Center
- Start brainstorming our own story ideas and the message behind our stories


We may possibly have time to:
- Start storyboarding our videos
- Start searching for pictures for our videos
- Start recording our stories

Project Requirements
- Story must be about you or an experience you had.
  - You may work in pairs--and if you want you can combine your stories.
- Videos Must be 2 - 5 minutes long.
  - Pairs must have videos 5 - 7 minutes long.
- Story must have a message or a moral--it doesn't HAVE to be about beauty, it can be about anything you really care about.  Real beauty is only a suggestion.

NOTE: You do not have to use pictures of yourself if you don't want to.  Remember that we are going to post this online when we're done.  So do not put in any personal pictures you do not feel comfortable with people seeing!

Resources:
Storyboards

Stock Images
- DeviantArt
- stock.xchng
- Google NOTE: You can google "free stock images" but if you take pictures from Google Images they MUST be High Quality or they will not look good!  Ask Sam for help if you don't understand!

Evolution of Beauty

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U

Discussion Questions:

- How does digitalized beauty make you feel?
- What do you want to teach the next generation (your children, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren) about what it means to be beautiful?
- What changes (if any) would you like the media to make when it comes to their advertising?
