Assignment #5: Digital Storytelling Project Flexibility

 

First I must say that the exposure to these new website platforms like DS 106 and daily create are refreshing and always welcome. Photopea is always great for photo editing, I must say.

Onto the first website DS106,
All of these choices are solid, but I’m first inclined to choose video assignments, with photo being a close second. I also must say that the audio ones are very tempting. As I have my own podcast. (On anchor, “Adroit Shenanigans”. I made an impressive couple of collages on iMovie for recreational reasoning really. Whether it was a montage or otherwise so I would be confident in tackling such a venue.
In terms of a option presented on the site,
I like the look of this one. To add music over a clip is certainly what I have experience in with iMovie, so it should translate.

When It comes to what is needed to learn for completion….

I honestly, would need to identify a platform that is suitable to the job. And see more examples to get a clearer reference. Perhaps I could make a return in some fashion to iMovie to assist in this project. I aim to build both emergent storytelling skills and use new tools to create this and many more projects. I envision that would do a few of these types of projects in this  model over the course of the semester. The skills are pivotal because they Video editing and collaboration is a key component in the digital era we live in, and could bring many opportunities if I have further experience, thus I’d be brave enough to finalize one or two. I might want to branch out into other alternatives as well and use the website to the max potential it may provide.

Video is a great outlet, but photo’s as a solid option is not to be ignored.

Photopea.com

For the daily create website, there are a plethora of options. A catalog of quirky assignments, that are all very interesting to look at. It reminds me of Craigslist haha. I would opt for the emophoto. A photo that illicits a certain emotion in the reader.

I appreciate and admire that the submissions are on Twitter as well. See below.

 

As for my personal selection out of my own collection, I will post a photo of me and my acting mentor below. I ask what emotion does it illicit for you?

It was part of an after school program where we met, the smart partners. Where a mentor hangs out with you on top of creating a writing plays. He’s a expert in standup comedy so it made all of our work. I spent quite a few years in the acting ensemble by the name of the 52nd street project, so it I would consider my acting skills quite involved haha. Even after I aged out of the program, we kept in touch to this day as adults.

  1. Good work on this!
    I see improvement and forward motion on the storytelling!
    Did the audio translation work? Im looking for the image with the audio but you may have to host it as a video on YouTube and then embed that link here (JPG files do not support audio)
    Both assignments look cool!
    And tell us more about your acting mentor and your acting skills! đŸ™‚
