Holly's+Digital+Storytelling+Project

Instead of making up some story, I decided to make this project a little more personal. I have created a movie about one of the biggest events in my athletic career. When I was a junior, my high school varsity soccer team had high hopes of making it to the state championship, and we did. This is our story of the struggles and hardships helped us create history.

During this project, I decided that I wanted to make my video stand out. I didn't know exactly how I was going to do this when I initially started this video. At first I just figured I would simply add sine transitions or something of that sort. Then I started to tinker around with the program and realized that I could change the look of my images in multiple ways. After I placed the images on my storyboard, I noticed a little symbol in the lower left-hand corner. I clicked on this icon and from there I clicked on the Clip Adjustments. After that I went to the category Video Effect. From here decided to choose a different effect for every one of my pictures, so that each of them had their own unique quirk. I especially liked the effect Heat Wave because in one of my images I discussed how the heat affected how we played during the championship game. It was nice to be able to edit my images within the program without having to use a program such as Picnik or SumoPaint. I was trying to figure out for the longest time what new skill I was going to be able to learn. I new I wanted to make my images 'pop' and stand out, but I did not know how I was going to accomplish that within the actual iMovie program. When I found where to edit the images, it took me some time to figure out what effect I wanted to apply to each picture. After a little trial and error, I finally managed to figure everything out, and was very happy with the way my video turned out.
