Digital+Storytelling

media type="custom" key="4949523" This digital storytelling project shares my experiences traveling to Spain. I spent two weeks there and found the experience very enriching. I was able to relate, communicate, and live in another culture other than my own. I will never forget the experience.

For this project, I used IMovie, a video and audio editing program that is more commonly used on Mac computers. I had never used IMovie prior to this project and found it to be quite user friendly. I was able to create my project, even though I used still pictures instead of video, as a seamless whole, allowing it to flow together and look more professional. To figure out many of the functions of the program, I played around with many of the different buttons within the program. Many of the fuctions were self-explainatory and had symbols that correlated with that specific function. One of the functions I learned how to use was the voice-over tool. I had never worked with that before and found that IMovie made it very easy to attach an audio track onto a still image or a video clip. I feel that using this tool allowed me to create a narration that sounds crisp and is more percise with my streaming images. All in all, I was satisfied with the project I created in IMovie, and found that it was a lot easier than I thought to make a nice, flowing presentation. I will definitely use this program again and try to enhance my movie-making skills.
