We have various reasons for producing digital stories. Here are some examples of various forms of digital stories I have completed with community groups over the past few years.

Back to Black Film projects
The participants of the 'Back to Black' film project were working on creating digital stories to show their own identity. Evas's film was produced in __ [|iPhoto] __. __ [|iPhoto] __ is the image viewing and editing software that comes standard on a Mac. This film is simple yet quite effective.

Luke used claymation and the soundtrack from one of his favourite bands to create this digital story. This film was a challenge for Luke, he was very proud of himself when it was completed.

Ash is a young person who worked on self reflective and emotional film about rape and sexual abuse. While Ash was shooting for another idea she had an anxiety attack. Her entire anxiety attack was caught on film. After she viewed the footage she decided to use the footage as the visual in her film. Ash overlayed text on her film to create more impact. The soundtrack was downloaded from __ [|Freeplay Music] __. The soundtrack was distorted for more effect. This film is an incredible personal film. Ash is ok for me to show this to people. Ash wanted to make this film to make the public aware of what can happen to children. This is the first time she has gone public with this.
