Digital+Story+Telling+CR

__Introduction__ I created a digital story about a boy named Dayton who befriends a new student named Arial. Since I am a special education major I wanted to make the story about accepting children with special needs. Throughout the story Dayton is pressured by his friends to not play with Arial because she has autism. Even though he his being pressured by his peers, he stands up for Arial and continues to be her friend. Eventually, Dayton asks his teacher to talk about autism in front of the class in hope that his friends would better understand the condition and, in turn, treat Arial fairly.

__Reflection__ In order to create this video, I learned how to use an application called imovie. Imovie is an application that allows you to add in any video clips, audio files, or pictures in order to create a movie with both video/picture clips and sound files. You can add in multiple pictures and multiple tracks of audio. You can adjust each picture to show up on a screen for any specific time. Imovie also allows you to change the volume of the audio file throughout the movie. This way, you can add in an audio track of music to your presentation without overpowering other audio tracks. I learned how to use imovie by watching the tutorials and by asking my friends for help. The tutorials showed how to add in the photos and how to increase or decrease the amount of time each photo stayed on the screen. I asked my friends how to sync the audio with the photos. My friends showed me how to move the audio file into imovie in order to work with it. They showed me how to extend each clip in order to fit in with the audio. With learning how to use imovie, I was able to create this digital story telling project efficiently and relative ease. Before learning how to use imovie I had a very difficult time trying to put the photos and audio together. But now I have a very useful tool that I will most likely use in the future.
