Digital+Storytelling+BN

Below you will find my digital story, "For the Love Of the Game", which is about my two-year-long quest to meet wide receiver Antonio Brown of the CMU football team. I created my digital story using iMovie and a TalkNet headset for the narration. Images were taken (with permission) from friends and family, and also from the Creative Commons of Flickr.

One skill I had to learn independently while creating this project was how to edit the voiceover clips in iMovie that I chad recorded using a USB headset. At first, I did not know how to edit my narration at all. I tried re-recording my narration for every separate clip of my digital story for a while in order to make the recording exactly the right length and fit in everything I wanted to say. However, this was a problem because it involved several recordings and the lengthy process of trying to edit the image clips to match the narration. Every time I changed the clip length, the narration stayed the same. Eventually I found a way to edit the narration itself, which allowed me to shorten my voiceover clip when there was dead time before the next clip started. After being able to trim the end of the clip, I could shave off a few seconds of each image clip without creating a problem with the narration timing. This enabled me to make my digital story more fluid and natural sounding.
