Publisher Description
The Digital Storytelling Guide, by Greg Beck and Zoomable Media, is the ideal multi-touch digital owner's manual for anyone who wants to use the iPad as a portable studio. The Guide contains over 50 video examples of video techniques and tips, focusing particularly on the "grammar" of video. In nine chapters, students will learn the technical capabilities of the iPad as well as how to best light, record, and edit video and sound with a studio they can carry anywhere. Interviewing techniques are also discussed and modeled, as well as tips for generating story ideas and planning to capture the right video for editing. Practice activities are included, along with interactive review questions of key concepts, and a complete interactive glossary of video storytelling and editing terms. Since the Digital Storytelling Guide is a multi-touch textbook created with Apple's iBooks Author application, students also have the ability to highlight text, take notes, and review notes and key glossary terms on interactive "study cards."

I found this video storytelling guide to be excellent for showing the different techniques and tricks on how to tell a story digitally. I recommend to any school who is serious about digital video editing.

If you work in an iPad using school, this is worth considering for all your iPads. Everybody recognizes good digital storytelling when they see it, but that doesn't mean they can create it themselves. We want to take advantage of the iPad's video capabilities, but teachers and students are often only shown the mechanics of using video apps. They're not shown even the basics of how to shoot video with a plan in mind, so what they capture are well composed shots that can be edited together to really communicate and tell a story. This book provides those basics and more. The short narrated video examples are simple but effective, bringing the concepts to life so much better than still pictures can. Kids pick up on these ideas quickly when they see them demonstrated, and now they can carry the examples around with them to watch whenever they need a reminder.
