Digital+Story

=Digital Story = media type="youtube" key="Tw9kGj_AYtA?hl=en" height="344" width="425" This digital story is about my mom. More specifically, it is about her battle with cancer in 2010.  While it seemed a like too obvious a topic at first, I am glad in retrospect that I did tackle this subject.  While at times difficult, I feel I am left with a piece of work that will be meaningful to a lot of people.

 On the technical side, I learned a lot from this project about iMovie. In full disclosure, all the audio was recorded  and mixed in garageband. It is a program which I am very comfortable with, and I knew how to do a lot of things that were  important to me, like balancing out narration and music, in that program already. However, I still spent a lot of time in iMovie and  learned a lot about it. I become really comfortable with adding video, audio, captions, and transitions to movies in the program.  The only thing I could not do was fade audio in and out, and I really dislike the abrupt start and stop of the different track right after  the opening sequence. Otherwise, I am quite happy with the technical aspects of the project.
