Digital+Story+Telling

Below is a story about my trip to China and some of the complications and fears I faced during my trip. I taught English in China, and below is a digital story describing that.

Previously I learned how to use imovie for a MAC, but I wanted to learn how to use another program, so I would be able to create a story using both a MAC and a PC. A new technique I learned using Photo Story was the image motion options. While doing the project I learned how to make image move on the page which created the affect of a video. One image I moved was the image of my students giving an presentation. I had the image zoomed in as far as possible when it first appeared, and by the end it was zoomed out to full size. I think this helps to viewer focus on the two students presenting and then draws their attention to the rest of the image. For a imvoie this is called the babinski affect. I think the babinski affect is a little easier to use for a Photo Story because it alllows the editor to choose where the photo can start and finish. The process is basically the same, I just think the process is simplified in Phot Story.
