THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL STORYTELLING FOR CHIANG MAI COLLEGE OF DRAMATIC ARTS STUDENTS

Abstract

               This article is a lesson from the project to develop students' potential with technology. It was a pilot project for the development of digital storytelling for Chiang Mai College of Dramatic Arts students, aiming to promote understanding and improve the production of learning materials in the form of digital storytelling to allow students to apply these skills in real life. Visual storytelling is not limited to still photography; it also includes the use of animation, sound, subtitles, background music, the use of characters, and graphic work. Every type of media used in the production must be able to tell a story to convey the target message and achieve the intended purpose. The story must be told in sequence with a clear narrative structure. In conclusion, digital storytelling is the presentation of content in a multimedia format to make the content interesting and easy to understand while serving the intended purpose. These skills are considered desirable characteristics of the graduates who, in addition to having knowledge and competence in their professions, must be able to work in the field of conserving, developing, creating, inheriting, and disseminating the nation’s cultural heritage.
