Digital Story Rough Draft

New Dog - A Digital Story (Rough Draft)

9 comments:

  1. 1. Purpose: This story was about a person finding and adopting a new dog.
    2. Dramatic Question: “After 16 years of owning a dog, I found myself dog free.”
    3. Emotion: A lot of people can relate to owning a dog and adopting one. Animals are so close to our hearts and are empty when we lose them.
    4. Economy: The timing of this story was nicely done.
    5. Images: The images went right along with the story and flowed nicely. The images were great to see because they were yours.
    6. Audio: The music you chose for the end went right along with your story.
    I love the sticker that you have on your car. I have a dog that we adopted when she was three months old and she has been with me ever since (5 years ago). I think that your story is very well written and I wouldn’t change anything.

  2. 1. Purpose- bringing a new animal to love into your life
    2. Dramatic Question- You found yourself dog free after 16 years!
    3. Emotion- AH! so much emotion! Not gonna lie, the picture from the shelter and the thought of all the sad dogs made me misty in the eyes.
    4. Economy- a very good length to tell your story
    5. Images- all of your personal pictures make to story really come to life and makes me feel like I was involved somehow
    6. Audio- Music was nice. I really like the part at the end when you said that you don't tell him he is on a weekly basis anymore.. the way you made the music start right then was a good touch.

    Overall, I think this is great and really, I can't say that I'd change anything! I also know how it feels to say "no more pets" but then I saw my Scruffy (whom I've had 9 years!!) as a scared stray and I instantly loved her. I also really like your who rescued who sticker. So fitting for your husband and Jethro!!

  3. Kelly,
    What a great story about your “new” dog Jethro. Your narration adds so much to it, as compared to just reading it on your storyboard. I liked hearing the emotion in your voice, the emphasis you put on certain things. It really added to the story. Your music came in at the end in a good place, to kind of signal that you were wrapping up your narrative. I like where you placed it. The images and photos were all very effective throughout the story and really personalized it well. I’m glad you found such a wonderful dog! and especially that he helped to save your husband’s life. That ought to pay his room and board for a lifetime! Nice story! I don't know what could be changed or improved, if anything.

  4. Kelley,
    I really enjoyed your story about you finally having time for you, and then finding your dog Jethro. I started laughing when you were describing going to look at new dogs, and your husband and daughters reactions. And the pictures you used for the story were very nice, and I agree, it would be hard to look into those eyes and not want to take him home. Your story was a nice length and I liked the music at the end.

  5. The best thing about your story is: The personality of it.. where you describe your family and hoe they react.
    I would like to know more about: your previous pets
    One thing you should think about changing is: I have no suggestions as I feel like you have done a wonderful job with this assignment.
    Another thing I like about your story is: is the music that you add to the end when you are about finished speaking. I also love the images you chose.

  6. I really like how the pictures you used went so well with your narration, and that they were personal. I also liked how you described your family at the animal shelter-the idea of them teaming up against you to make it to home base and bring a dog home. I think your overall purpose/dramatic question is determining how much value having a dog adds to your life, as the beginning of the story talks about what a burden it is, and the end shows how rewarding it is.

  7. I love how everything has come together so well. Your story flows very nicely. I love the emotional content of your video, and I think that's the best part about it. Anyone with a dog that's part of the family would understand.

    Purpose: The story of your dog!
    Dramatic Question: New dog?
    Emotion: As a dog mother, I find this video very emotional. It's great that you adopted when went looking for a new dog, as most people don't. My current dog came into my life after my childhood dog passed, and though I know it would give me more freedom, I don't think I could ever go dog-less. It's very clear from your story that your dog is just as much part of your family.
    Economy: It's a great length for your story.
    Images: All your images are personal, and they go great with how you're telling your story.
    Audio: Your narration is clear and easy to understand. Great job!

  8. Mrs. Allen,

    Jethro the hero!!! This was a wonderful story. I am a huge dog lover, so I immediately thought Jethro was handsome pup. We really never can explain or describe the impact that dogs have on our lives. Sometimes they can be a pain in the butt, but sometimes they end up saving our lives in many ways. I really liked this digital story. If I had to make a change, I would maybe bring up the levels of the sound at the end. It sounded like a good song choice, but I wanted more of it.
    Excellent story!!
    Thanks,
    Michael Gallimore

  9. The best thing about your story is the way the pictures went with the narration. I would not change anything if I were you. It was a very well-put together story. The flow was nice, and I liked the personality you included in the narration.
