EDLD 5363 - Reflection Week 1 Assignment Digital Photo Story

Reflection - EDLD 5363 Week 1 Assignment Digital Photo Story

    Looking back on this week's assignment, I was able to utilize Photo Story 3 to create a story about my families' experiences beyond the classroom.  I selected the topic of explaining how we had utilized travel and visiting various sights in the United States and abroad to assist in the education of our children.  I gathered photos that represented and highlighted some of the memorable experiences for our family.  Utilizing these photographs led to helping me create a script and storyboard for my final video.  It really helped to have comments from the members of our group to assist in revising and developing the final video presentation.  After using Photo Story to place the photos in order, edit and crop the photos, add script and narration to each slide, and to add titles to the necessary slides, I was able to create a soft musical backgroup to the photo slide presentation.  Our professor advised that the music could interfere with the narration, so if we added a musical background to be sure that the music level was low.  After previewing the final version, I was able to save the video into media player which was easy to download to YouTube for the final presentation.  I then uploaded the YouTube video to our group Wiki for final viewing.  The link for our MultimediaVideo Wiki site is http://multimediavidtech-edld5363.wikispaces.com/Week+1+Embedded+Video.  This allowed us to view each other's final Digital Photo Stories.  I learned so much from this assignment.  Using Photo Story 3 and also uploading the assignment to YouTube were new to me, but I was glad that I had the opportunity to use new multimedia devices that will prove very useful in the future.
