Kevin's+Digital+Storytelling+Project

This is my digital storytelling project for my EDU 290 class. It is a story about me waking up late for class one morning and not being able to find my wallet. I look in all sorts of places for my wallet, but the only way you'll be able to know if I find it is by watching my video. Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

My Digital Storytelling Project: media type="custom" key="4959539" A new skill I learned was how to add sounds to my imovie presentation. I added the sound of an alarm clock ringing and an audience cheering at the end of my presentation. I was really surprised at the amount of sounds that imovie had available, ranging from cheering crowds to racing cars to theme music. I learned this new skill mostly by experimenting with imovie and by asking questions to a few knowledgeable people. Learning how to add sounds into my digital video allowed me to make it more interesting and more fun to watch. I feel that being able to add sounds enhances a digital video and add to its overall quality. I learned a lot by just experimenting with imovie; although I know that I still have a lot to learn about the program in order to use it most effectively, I feel that I understand the basics of how to use the program to make a digital video pretty well. Before I took EDU 290, I had never made a digital video before, so this entire experience has been completely new to me. I have learned a lot while completing this digital video project, and I think that if I have to use the imovie program in the future I will be well prepared to use it effectively. Like most technology, imovie can be a bit confusing and frustrating to use at first, but just experimenting with the different features that imovie has allows a first time user to become comfortable with creating digital video pretty quick.
