Not much time has passed since Harima’s and Catherine’s wedding. They had found each other when they were both at rock bottom and… -
Final Weekly Summary
FINAL WEEK IS OVER! I noticed that everything is due on Friday rather than Sunday, so I got started right away with my story. I wrote a lot. This was definitely the most exciting part of the class, writing our own story for the final. I have always loved watching the Harry Potter series, so […] -
Draco Malfoy the Muggle
“I failed, I’m a failure. What happens now?” Draco thought silently. He is by himself, reminiscing over what happened, or rather what didn’t happen. Dumbledore is not dead. He’s still alive. Draco failed to kill Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Why is this so bad? Because Voldemort ordered him to […] -

How to: Draco’s Return
by @angelk1208 June 21, 2019I made this photo edit, inspired by the design assignment prompt, Are We There Yet?. I took two separate photos, the character Draco and what is supposed to be his home back in the Wizarding World. Because in the story, he left, I wanted to make an edit of him returning home. How I made […] -
Audio Tutorial- Final Story
As going along with the creepy theme of my final story, I wanted to create some chilling audio. At this point in the story, the character is hiding behind her bedroom door, listening through to see if she can hear anything on the other side- maybe a ghost, perhaps? First, I started with importing some… -
Visual Tutorial- Final Story
One of the visual aspects I wanted to create for my final story was a spooky/ creepy image! For this part of the story, the character is looking down a dimly lit hallway and sees a figure of some sort. I started off taking a picture of my hallway to use for my visual effect.… -
How To: Night Out in Sound Effects
by @angelk1208 June 21, 2019Another digital media that I put together is an audio clip with sound effects, which I used to tell a scene of my story. I loosely followed the guidelines from the Sound Effect Story audio assignment prompt. I used around 9 or 10 sound effects and audio clips. This sound effect story is supposed to […] -
Visual Tutorial- Final Story
My final story has to do with a young college graduate searching for a new apartment to move into, but little does she know that the apartment she is moving into is DEFINITELY haunted. I decided a fun visual to add to this story would be for her to find a flyer for her definitely… -
Final Summary
This semester was a jam packed with with different forms of media and the final project gave me an opportunity to showcase what I had learned. One thing I improved on greatly throughout these last five weeks was my ability to manipulate audio and video. I had a lot of fun learning how to use … Continue reading "Final Summary" -
How I Made: Audio
For the audio aspect of my final, I decided to take inspiration from one of my favorite audio assignments from this semester. The assignment called for creating a scene using only sound effects. I took this project a step further by including audio from the original Toy Story movie. First, I looked up various sound … Continue reading "How I Made: Audio" -
How I made: Poster
In my final project, I included a “MISSING” poster of Buzz Lightyear. The idea is to illustrate the Buzz is nowhere to be found. This element of the project includes both design and visual elements. The first thing I did was find a picture of Buzz on the internet that was easy to crop. I … Continue reading "How I made: Poster" -
How I made: Video
The video element of my final project was one of my favorites. I decided to make a video of the scene between the squirrel and the toys. This was a really fun process for me. The first thing I did was go on to YouTube and look for a video of a squirrel. I found … Continue reading "How I made: Video" -
How I made: Buzz and the Squirrel
I used visual and design elements to create the image fo buzz being faced by the squirrel. The first thing I did was look for a picture of the woods to use. I found a picture that was already in the camera roll on my phone from a hiking trip I had gone on. I … Continue reading "How I made: Buzz and the Squirrel" -
Final Project Story
It was a vey exciting day for Buzz and Woody. Today was the day that Andy went on a nature hike with his Adventure Scout Troop! After the two of them were all packed snuggly in Andy’s backpack with just enough room for their heads to poke out the top, they were whisked away onto … Continue reading "Final Project Story" -
Final Reflection
Throughout the semester, I realized that I improved on my photoshop editing skills. I also got better with taking photos in general by taking in the tips we learned. I’m way better at making GIFs, too! Now I can make cute ones or funny ones. The most challenging unit for me was definitely the Sound […] -
How To: Opposites Photo
by @angelk1208 June 21, 2019I made this photo edit to put in my final story. It was inspired by the visual assignment prompt, Opposites Attract Meme. Though I did not turn it into a meme, I made the edit fit my story. This edit represents the two main characters, Draco and Sam, who have two differing personalities. How I […] -
How To: Random Post Its
These are the “post-it notes” that I used in my story. I took the inspiration from the “Post-It Notes and Grocery List” prompt, in the Visual Assignment Bank. Since one of the characters in the story is the owner of a bakery, I thought of a few fun post-its to make. How I made the […] -
How To: Sam’s Bakery Logo
I created a logo for one of the settings in my story. I got the idea from the Design Assignments prompt, Create A Logo. This is a very simple logo that is used to represent the bakery that one of the characters in my story owns. The outline is of a steaming loaf of bread, […] -

what if the titanic never sank? what if the story was told from the perspective of another character? -
titanic 2.0 – poster
Design Assignment -
titanic 2.0 – sound effects story
Audio Assignment -
titanic 2.0 – five frame story
A picture is worth a thousand words… and a story can be told in five. I decided to use this assignment to guide my narrative, and add in the other assignments with it as well. For all of the images I simply found them on Google Images, downloaded... -
titanic 2.0 – the story of your character
I love the movie Titanic. Old, kind of cheesy, I know, but it’s a classic. This movie of course focuses on the two main ill-fated characters Jack and Rose. So I decided to change the perspective and choose “the bad guy” as my characte... -
How To: Draco GIF
One of the media pieces I made to include in the story is a GIF. I used the prompt, Been There from the Animated GIF Assignment Bank. The assignment said to create a GIF from a movie that shows a relatable emotion, expression, or moment. I chose this scene when Draco Malfoy was in distress […] -
Final Weekly Summary
Well folks… we did it! Welcome to the last weekly summary. Such a bittersweet feeling. via GIPHY The final project for this class was a fun way to stretch your brain, and use all the information and tools we learned these past 5 weeks! For my story, I turned the classic Little Mermaid story, and put a space-popstar-sad twist on it! I used a visual design element, an audio element, and a video element in my final project. I made posters, some audio clips, a gif, and a video! This was the final product: Ursula won this round… via GIPHY I also created How-To posts on how I did all my media, one for the posters, the vocals for Ariel, the dream sequence, and the gif. And for anyone who now has the song stuck in your head, here you go… When I was done with the project, I took a moment to reflect on this class, what I learned, what I would do differently next time, and what my favorite/least favorite parts were! I’m sad this class is over, I really did enjoy every part of it. I guess all I can say is…so long… farewell… via GIPHY Catch you on the flip side, 106ers! via GIPHY -
DS106 reflection
This class, Digital Storytelling, was one that I had been waiting to take since I was a freshman. I was extremely excited to start! The one real regret I have about taking this class, is that I wish I was able to do it during a full semester, not a...
