While some content creators may want to start shooting and creating full-motion video on a smartphone or tablet, it is generally easier to create higher quality and thoughtful videos by using applications which create narrated slideshows. Narrated slideshows can be created during Sunday School or Wednesday night classes, on mission trips, or at any other time using still images and audio recordings which give an explanation and more details about each picture.\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\nThe three basic \"digital ingredients\" for a narrated slideshow are:\n
    \n \t
  1. a story<\/li>\n \t
  2. a script<\/li>\n \t
  3. photos<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nCreators can start with any of these ingredients, but if documenting an event, often photos seem like the logical place to start. Our smartphone digital cameras today can take an almost unlimited number of pictures, and it can be overwhelming to face tens or even hundreds of photos following a trip or event. I often recommend that people start with a SPECIFIC STORY from a trip or event which they want to share with others, and then select ONLY five to ten photos which can be used to share that story.\n\nTo make the creation process easier from a technical standpoint, I recommend either:\n
      \n \t
    1. Creating a new photo album on your smartphone with JUST the selected photos for the narrated slideshow<\/li>\n \t
    2. Copying selected photos into a new FOLDER on the computer which will be used to create the narrated slideshow<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nThink carefully about the STORY you want to tell with your photos when making selections. Sometimes, the order of photos will naturally follow a sequence of events from a story. At other times, however, the way in which you choose to tell (or 'unwrap') your story can dictate both the photos which are selected and their sequence.\n\nOne storytelling model, or framework, which I frequently use with students and participants in digital storytelling \/ media creation workshops, is the \"five photo story.\"\n\nOn the \"5 Photo Story\" page of ShowWithMedia.com<\/a> I define these projects.\n
      A five photo story is a collection of five images which tell a story of some kind without using supplementary text, audio or video. The five photos should \u201cstand alone\u201d as a story.[footnote]\u201c5 Photo Story.\u201d Show What You Know with Media, 3 Feb. 2012, https:\/\/showwithmedia.com\/5-photo-story\/<\/a>.[\/footnote]<\/blockquote>\n
