Ever since I got my Macbook, I have wanted to make use of the iMovie application. When I first saw the words, "Digital Storytelling," I had no idea what to expect. I was envisioning something along the lines of narration with a slide show or something similar to the "In Plain English" videos. I was excited to realize that it involved the iMovie app. When thinking of a topic, I knew I wanted to make it on a city I had visited. Then, I decided to do it on the French city I called home for four months last fall, Nantes, France. This way, I wouldn't have to worry about violating copyright rules by using internet pictures, and I could use photos from my personal collection.
The actual process of making the movie was pretty straightforward. I only had a couple problems with text not fitting on the space provided. In the end, I think my movie turned out pretty good. Being that it was my first "Digital Story," i know that if I were to make another, it would be even better. I can see many possibilities with this tool. Especially in a foreign language room, this could be a great tool to give virtual tours of different cities!
