Digital+Storytelling+Project+NO

Introduction: The following video is a Digital Storytelling Project I created for EDU 290. Its a story about everything that happened at The Detroit Electronic Music Festival my best friend Nathan and I attended in May of 2009. Creating the project gave me technological experience and developed my skills with both IMovie and The Ken Burns Effect.

While creating this project I learned a lot about the basics of using the program IMovie and specifically the Ken Burns Effect. In order to make my digital storytelling project I needed to learn how to upload media like still images, place them in the proper order, record audio narration for each clip, and how to create transitions, an Introduction and a Conclusion slide. Once I mastered each of these I could finally put the video together piece by piece.

Once each individual clip was placed in the right order and edited to the proper length I could then use the Ken Burns Effect to make the video seem less still and boring. To create the Ken Burns Effect I had to select a starting and ending point on a still image. After selecting these points, the computer edits the clip so that over the duration that it plays the image you see moves from point A to point B, creating movement.
