Digital Story

My story takes place in Vancouver, Canada, over the Christmas holidays. Glassner has said the ways in which someone can be interactive in a story. I was able to be interactive in my digital story because I was the one creating it. Stories have characters, plots, and conflicts. I chose the sequence of events for my story to flow well together. The setting is clearly around Christmas, not only does it say Christmas, but the characters are standing in front of a Christmas tree. The characters in the story are of my dad, brother, sister, and myself. I got my idea from the example of making a digital postcard from a trip that I have recently taken.

My story is all about my family having fun in a beautiful city that I have never been before. The events that are taking place in my story are from the Marriott, Chinese Garden, Granville Island, Seabus Ferry, Giggledam Dinner Theater, and Grouse Mountain. This story shows how beautiful Vancouver is by just seeing the boats from the bridge looking down onto Granville Island. The views from the Mountain overlooking the City are similar as to looking at a postcard. The trip was a once in a lifetime experience.

Glassner in Interactive Storytelling says characters have traits that leave a lasting impression on us. In my digital story, my family and I show that we are brave by skiing on a huge mountain for the first time, well except my dad. This is probably the climax of my story because it is at the end and it shows our personalities. By creating my own digital story it allowed me to be the author and tell a story to someone else. This was a good experience for putting a story together digitally and to get familiar with iMovie. By creating this I got better at using transitions as well. I learned that you can not just put any transition where you like because it can affect the tone of a story, even thought they are fun to use.
