How to create a Digital Storytelling video

Assalamualaikum wbt

As promised, I'm going to share some tips on how to create your own Digital Storytelling (DS) project.

First and foremost, you need to have:

1. Windows Live Movie Maker

2. Youtube Downloader.

If you don't have the software above, you can download them for FREE. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully.

Step 1

Create a Digital Story folder at your desktop.

Step 2 

Open any internet browser (GOOGLE/ Yahoo etc). Download images related to your project.

Save the selected images in your DS folder (refer to Step 1)

Step 3

Download videos by using Youtube Downloader.
You can convert the downloaded Videos (MP4) to MP3 format by using Youtube Downloader.
Click Convert and save as Mp3. The downloaded MP3 and MP4 can be saved under DS folder.

Step 4

Open Windows Live Movie Maker.

Add the downloaded images/ videos/ songs.
** This requires practice. You need to familiarize yourself with some of the features (Animation/ Splitting etc) in order to produce an interesting video**

Step 5

Make sure to save the video

SAVE MOVIE -- For Computer
 This Movie is now ready to be use in your lesson. 

 However, this video cannot be edited.
Before you save the video as instructed above, make sure to save it as an edited version.
Click SAVE PROJECT.  You might want to do some adjustment/ editing in the future without having to start everything from beginning. 

Thank you!
