Witney's+Digital+Story


 * Introduction:** My digital story is about when a child first wants a pet. Every person can remember a time in thier life when they first wanted a pet play with whether it be a dog, cat or any other type of animal. It first has the initial action of a child asking for a pet, but the mother or father no, because of the complications pets bring. However, it portrays how unexpected occurrences can come along and change the flow of things. Also, it shows how in the end parents will most likely give into thier kids wants, even if they don't intentions too.

However, photo story was very easy and you could figure out how to do everything just by reading the directions given. There was also a tutorial for each step I completed if I needed more help. The first thing I had to do was upload images. Once the images were uploaded, you could crop, rotate or edit the image in any way needed for the project. All of the images I upload needed to be cropped and made bigger and I did that using the tools on photo story. Next, I could add titles or text to my page and add effects for my story. I didn’t need to use this step because I had already added titles of my own. I then had to narrate my story. Once again, at the top there were clear directions at the stop and a more in depth tutorial if needed. I went to each picture I uploaded and clicked the record button and began speaking. When done speaking, I pressed stop and I could preview my page with the narration. After that, I could add music or create music to add. I didn’t need to use this step but if I did, the directions were easy and located directly on the page. The final step was to preview and save my project. Using Photo Story 3 was actually easier than I thought and before I knew it, I was done. The main thing was enabled me to learn these new skills so quickly was the clear directions placed on each screen and the tutorial if need further help.
