Pros/Cons of Digital Stories
Vanessa Clay
I found that overall her digital story had many
strengths. I enjoyed the variety of
photographs that grounded us in her individual sphere of experience. I enjoyed her interaction of music and her
calm and personable tone. My only
criticism is in the layout of her slides.
I think she should have done more interesting things with background
color choices and text decisions. I
don’t necessarily think these cons effected the presentation greatly, but feel
that if improved it could help the story as a whole be more contemporary and
visually pleasing throughout.
Jared St. Brown
I thought his presentation was excellent! I wasn’t convinced at first, but his writing
of the dialog was fantastic. His
ability to make the story flow effortlessly from his grandfather’s personality
to his dads and back was an unusual and intriguing twist. The dialogue was charming and really built up
our understanding of how these two men deeply influenced his life and who he
has grown up to be and what he has grown to appreciate. His voice was a tad low in parts, so perhaps
improving upon the sound quality would be an improvement, but otherwise I
thought it was very well done.
Amber Haller
Her video was sweet and short. I liked to content, but felt it lacking
compared to the others as a digital story.
I think it makes the overall story much more enjoyable if the dialogue
is read to us, so we can hear and see to associate ourselves to the creator. The text doesn’t speak as much volume as our
voices, especially in this advanced time of gadgetry and built in
microphones. Some of her slides were a
bit plain and could have been jazzed up more by adjusting text perspectives or
photo placements. I liked it, but compared to the others it left
a lot to be desired.
