Digital+Story+KT

This is my digital story, it is about my high school baseball team my senior year. This story is in the beginning of the season and we were running into some problems during a certain game. We learned how to work together and accomplish our goals.

I learned how to use the Ken Burns’ effect in iMovie. On the pictures that you can put in to iMovie a symbol for a gear will show up on the picture. All you need to do is click on the symbol and a caption comes up for clip adjustments, cropping or for the Ken Burns’ effect. The Ken Burns’ effect is where a still picture can be moved so that the story you are creating looks like it is moving and seems more natural and real. It is a neat little affect you can put into your stories. When I clicked on the Ken Burns’ effect I was able to put part of the picture right where I wanted it and then had it move to an ending position. I was even able to crop things out of the pictures I chose. This allowed me to pick how I wanted my still pictures to start and end. I could have part of the picture in the beginning and finish with the whole thing or I could have the picture move to the more important details. For example, I have a picture of my teammate and I giving each other a high five and I finished that little sequence with just my face showing my huge grin. It was a very useful technology and helped spruce up my story. It created the live action of a movie using still pictures and made everything in my story flow.
