Digital Storytelling Series: Making a Short Video Memoir

Participants will develop and edit a short video memoir based on an event in their life or that of someone close to them.

In January, we will cover the principles of good storytelling and the basics of filmmaking, including how to shoot an interview, record voice over, and combine them with photos and other B-roll footage to tell a story.

In February, we will learn how to use Adobe Premiere to edit together interviews, photos and pre-existing film/video to make a compelling story.

Participants can use time between sessions to collect and scan photos or record interviews, using either their own equipment or resources at the Open Makerspace. Registration required. Space is limited to 12 participants.

Presented in partnership with FilmNorth. This project was made possible in part by funding from the Minnesota Department of Education through a Library Services and Technology Act [LS-00-18-0024-18} grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
