Digital+Storytelling+ON

This is my digital storytelling project. It is about one of my experiences on my high school crew team. I used the program Inspiration to brainstorm and plan out my thoughts for this project. To create the final project, I used iMovie. Please enjoy!

In order to create this video, I used the program iMovie. In iMovie I learned how to use the Ken Burns effect and how to use transitions. In order to use the Ken Burns effect, I clicked on the "cogwheel" on the photo to see how I could edit my scene. I used the Ken Burns effect, which makes a still picture look as though it is moving, throughout my video. This effect allowed me to focus on what I am explaining. In scenes where my crew is racing, I used the Ken Burns effect to follow the way my crew is rowing, to make it look like we are actually moving through the water as I speak. The Ken Burns effect adds to my video by making it more attractive to watch and keeps the attention of my audience. I also found out how to use transitions. In order to use transitions, I found a button on the right hand side, located on the middle of the screen. These transitions add more detail to my project and smoothly flow into the next photo.
