Writing+Your+Script

Now comes the tricky part - figuring out what you're going to say. You can do this several ways:
 * Try creating a storyboard for your story. Pick out the pictures that you'd like to use and figure out what you're going to say about them. OR do this in reverse. Figure out what story you'd like to tell and pick out pictures that best illustrate this.
 * Use a website like [|RawScripts.com] to create a script that you can use - or, alternatively, use a word processor like Microsoft Word to create a script on your own terms.
 * Create a timeline demonstrating what images, audio, or other files are going to go where in your digital story.

Once you've figured out what you're going to say and why you're going to say it (the purpose of it all) then you're ready to begin.
 * 1) Import your files to iMovie and figure out the proper timeline. Play with transitions and special effects, you may find some that you like - or you can stick to the basic "fade to black" that we experienced with the "[|One in 8 Million]" project.
 * 2) Use the computer's microphone to record the narration of your script. Make sure you pay attention to timing and pacing. It's okay if you have to do a couple of takes - in fact, I would encourage you to record it more than once.
 * 3) Import the narration into your iMovie project.
 * 4) Finalize your digital story by saving it (sharing it/exporting it) as a medium sized Quicktime file. Make sure it save it as YourLastName_Digital Story - so that there will be no mixups on the wikipage.
