This week we made a Personal Digital Story in EDLD 5363. I thought it was going to be easy to do. No, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. First I had to decide what to use for the storyline. It was a tossup between our summer adventure and the trips shared with my sisters. I decided to use the story about Craig’s and my adventure this past summer. The time spent together was priceless.
Then I had to decide what program to use to make the digital story. I chose to use Photo Story 3. It was relatively easy to use, but it was time consuming.
After deciding what to use for the story, I had to decide what part of the trip I wanted to focus on in the story. I decided to focus on the historical parts of the trip. As I sat down to actually write the story I found myself writing and rewriting the story. Finally, I uploaded the story for my partner to read. Then I had to decide which pictures to use. That was the easy part of the assignment.
The hard part of the assignment was trying to make the voice over work with each picture. It took a lot longer than I anticipated putting everything together. After getting the talking and pictures together I had to decide which music I wanted in the background. I listened to a lot of different types of music before I could decide. Finally I decided on Latin (Brazil) music.
The movie turned out much better than I thought it would. I am very pleased with it. The next story I write should go much quicker since I know how to make the movies now.
I hope you enjoy my digital story. Craig and Ruth's Summer Adventure
