24th September

Today I finally finished my first photostory!! We made title pages with powerpoint which is a lot better. The 2007 version of microsoft is a lot easier to work with than the 2003 one! It also has a lot more options to make your presentation really aestethic.

Today was fun!! I enjoyed it a lot!

Storyboarding: What is it?

A storyboard is a place where you can plan out your digital story in two different areas, before you make your finished story. The first area is time, where you say what goes where and when. The second is sound and interaction, the music and how the slides change, and also if you have a voiceover (which is your voice telling the story while you see the pictures).

Here is an example of a storyboard:

Today in class we did Photostories for the first time! I finished mine first!
It was really fun, mine was about puppies because I think they are so cute.

My favourite part was adding the music because it was funny listening to all the different types!


I had fun today! :)

Reflection on September 13th

Today I learnt how to make a photostory with the tutorial on the website Ms. Dietrich gave us on our blog. It was pretty easy to learn, because we have already learned about windows movie maker, which is almost the same thing.
I also watched the suffragette movie, and the humanitites project movie.

Thats what I did today!

What programs can you use for digital storytelling?



There are loads of programs that you can use. Since we are on Windows, we can use programs such as Windows Movie Maker, Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements.

Are they Opensource?



Most of these tools are, but some programs cost a lot of money. Some of the ones that cost a lot of money give you free trials for a few days and then if you like it you can buy it.
