“MiStory” is an exciting regional Arts and Skills education program initiated by Metro Screen on behalf of TAFE’s ArtStart NSW focusing on the development of New Media skills in young people from Sydney’s Metropolitan East region.
The “MiStory” Digital Storytelling workshops will encompass the broad gamut of new media production skills including concept development, scriptwriting, multimedia production skills, editing, sound recording, website, DVD and Mobile phone content production.
The participants will produce a short audio/visual story, which they will have written, created the images, narrated and conformed into a web downloadable mobile phone playable movie, and also created their own DVD.
What’s in it for the young people?
“MiStory” will give the participating young people an opportunity to learn the techniques and methods of creating their personal story using accessible, simple, yet technically sophisticated digital media production tools.
They will make a “MiStory” program of around 2 to 3 minutes in length that will be composed of a series of still images and video images overlaid with a voice-over that they have written and narrated themselves. All completing participants will receive a certificate of proficiency from ArtStart issued by Metro Screen (an accredited training organization on behalf of TAFE NSW
But what else do they get out of it?
Besides learning how to develop a script and how to use state-of-the-art multimedia tools and applications, the workshop participants get to create their own website, DVD and mobile phone playable movie, and have their “MiStory” played to a potentially infinite audience, including a live public screening.
But just as importantly they will learn to work collaboratively, set and meet goals and create an achievable, yet high quality state-of-the-art, self esteem enhancing outcome.
