17 June 2010: 9.00am – 1.20pm & 2.00pm – 6.20pm
Venue: Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s School of Film & Media Studies
Each school may allow a maximum of two teachers and six students (per category) to sign up for the workshops. As seats are limited, slots are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis and at the discretion of the organizers. Interested participants need to sign up by sending an email to sisf@bookcouncil.sg, giving the participants’ names, email addresses, name of school and preferred workshop slot.
* Contestants are not required to attend the workshops in order to participate in the contest. These workshops are value added activities to enhance the digital storytelling experience.
In the CONTENT POD, participants will discover the Experience/Memory/Observation TEchnique (e-MOTE). Using this technique, participants can create characters, build story structure and ultimately tell an absorbing and convincing story. Storytelling is about translating emotions from one person to another and EMOTE was formulated to provide the simplest and most effective way for participants to “emote” their stories through this competition
In the TECHNOLOGY POD, participants will get hands-on experience with tools for digital audio and video recording and also be made aware of avenues and techniques to get their digital stories exhibited internationally for free.
