Today was a day of intense hands on work on the computers. Participants were introduced to Microsoft's Photo Story software. Through this very user-friendly software, they learnt how to sequence images, add voice-over, apply motion - pan and zoom and use inter-slide transitions.
Next was an exciting exercise. Participants were given a set of 20 images and 5 soundtracks (of various moods) for background music. Each had to select any 6 images of their choice and, using voiceovers, transitions, movements and other techniques learnt earlier, had to make a short story.
It was interesting to see the different stories than came from the same set of 20 images!

The above videos are first-time efforts by participants as an exercise in digital story telling and were completed in one hour. More to come as the workshop progresses.
