Digital+Storytelling+Project+C.A.

1.) For my digital storytelling project I chose to tell a story about the birth of my nephew and a trip to Jamaica. Sometimes in life you run into big binds and don't know what to do. However, usually everything works out the way it does for a certain reason. In this story you will see that sometimes you just have to go with the flow and let things fall into place by itself.

3.) When being told I had to design a story with the imovie application on a mac computer I was terrified. This was extremely new to me because before my EDU 290 class I had never worked with a mac. Furthermore, when I was given the option to either use the imovie on a mac computer or use a different software on a PC I chose to use the imovie because I was familiar with a PC, unlike a Mac. When thinking about a new skill that I learned, the whole aspect of using imovie was new to me. It took a good amount of time for me to get used to the application by messing around with it for a couple hours. However, I finally got used to it and one new skill that I learned within the application was the ken burns effect. This was very cool to me because I could make the pictures move as they came on the slide. In addition, I could choose where the picture would start and end on the slide. I also thought it was very cool to be able to change the colors or my pictures and make effects to them. One other skill that I thought was neat was adding the voice to the actual story. This took a lot of time because I had to get the voice synchronized exactly to my slides. In conclusion, these new skills that I learned will definitely help me in the future when I use imovie again.
