(from the Kelvin Grove Urban Village project ). Digital Stories are short, personally narrated multimedia tales. In a workshop run by specialist trainers from the Creative Industries Faculty at QUT, people from a wide range of age groups and experience levels worked together to produce digital stories related to the history of the Kelvin Grove Urban Village area.
During the workshop, the participants, with the assistance of the trainers, developed their personal memories and stories into scripts, recorded voiceovers, and used Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere to produce a personal documentary film of broadcast quality. The digital stories are made to a formula of around two minutes, 250 words, and a dozen images – but the results are as diverse as the individual participants who made them.
