Digital Story Telling Project
Annotation
My digital story telling project was my favorite assignment this semester. I was introduced to PhotoStory 3 for Windows a few weeks ago and I haven't been able to stop using it since! Photography has always been a big part of my life and this assignment allowed me to share and express my love for it. PhotoStory 3 was an easy program to learn. All you needed to create your own story were photographs, captions, and music. It reminded me of making a PowerPoint almost because you given the option of choosing which colors, fonts, and tranisitons you preferred.
In order to create my own PhotoStory I, first had to import pictures and save them to my progressing story. I was also able to edit the pictures or add effects to them. Next, I went through and added a caption to each picture explaining what was going on it that picture. After that I was able to apply many different transitions. I then moved on to adding music. This was the hardest part for me. I found myself very frustrated because the music I wanted would not work for my PhotoStory outside of my own computer at home. My PhotoStory was about my boyfriend, Anthony's band. Therefore, I wanted his band's music playing throughout the entire story. However, the files of his music were not MP3's so I could apply one of his songs. His music works at home to view this story but I had to apply different music while in Cortland for the first half of my PhotoStory.
Overall, I truly enjoyed this project and learned a lot from it. I will definitely use the concepts i learned from this assignment in future years, as well as in my classroom.
