=Digital Story Telling Project:=

My digital story telling project is on my first boxing match. The project shows all of the steps that I went through in order to prepare for my first boxing match. The project highlights everything from my contract signing, to my training, all the way to the actual boxing match.=====

The new skill that I learned during the digital story telling project was the ability to use the Ken Burns effect. The Ken Burns effect is a feature that takes a still image, and makes it appear to be moving by the way the pictures are cropped. The way the Ken Burns effect is used is a single picture has a start point and a finish point. The picture is cropped with a start point, and then cropped to finish in a certain way. Picking a start point and an end point for a single picture makes the image seem like it is moving by getting smaller or bigger, or moving left, right, up, or down across the screen.=====

I learned the Ken Burns effect while practicing with I-Movie. I took images that I had obtained from Flickr, and practiced using the effect to make the photos look like they were moving. After practicing for about a half hour I was very confident that I had learned to use the technology very well.=====

The Ken Burns effect really helped my digital story telling project come to life. My story was on my first boxing match, and the Ken Burns effect is the reason that my project turned out so well. The effect made the images of me punching, doing push-ups, and wrapping me hands look like I was actually moving. Without this technology my project would not be able to have the appearance of movement, and my project would not have turned out as well as it did.=====
