Digital Storytelling

  Hi everyone!

  This week our project is to create a digital story. I must admit, it was the most difficult project that I have ever had so far. Luckily, I worked with my dear friend Teodora in this project.

   First of all, we wrote the script of the story. I think it was the hardest part. Because, we spent so much time on it. We had lots of different ideas for the story. But, we had to choose one of them and do our best.  As the story wouldn’t be so long, we kept it short as much as possible. We created our main characters, climax for the story.

   After writing the script, we had to find relevant photos for the story. As we both aren’t good at drawing, we photocopied lots of pictures from our colorful books. Then, we cut them and put our story.

   We used pipets to move our characters, but, unfortunately, whenever we opened video recorder and start to tell our story, the pictures fell down. We got annoyed a little bit. Because, it took our time. We glued the pictures on pipets again and again. But, they fell so many times. And, it was driving us crazy. Then, immediately we found a solution to this problem.

       Eight hours later, finally we finished the project and we were so tired because of doing the project without stopping a second. But, anyway, we were able to finish it. Yes, it was a long and tiring process. But, indeed we had so much fun, and enjoyed it. 

       I am aware that I talked too much. But,also I wan to share something with you. After finishing our project, Teodora and I wanted to take a video to explain the process, to remember it and smile it later. While we were recording ourselves, suddenly video recorder turned off and everything we recorded was deleted. We couldn’t find our videos. We got anxious, and thought we had to do it again. After a few phone calls J we opened and closed the recorder. And, when we opened it up again, we saw all our videos were in it. We were relieved and we sighed. Finally, this adventure was over.

    It was a long, tiring and hard project, but I enjoyed it. And, definitely I want to use it with my students in the future.
      Here is my video. I hope you like the story that we created. Take care!
