Creating both photo stories has been my favorite assignment. In particular, I enjoyed this one more because of how personal the story is to me. I chose to do one about the islands where my parents were born, Cape Verde. When I speak to people about it, not many know where they are located or have even heard of them. I decided to include information about where it was located, how the islands were acquired, popular cuisine and dances, and the Cape Verdean culture in the United States.
First, I made an outline of the information I wanted to include in my story. Then, I wrote the script and searched for pictures online that went with the information. Once I was ready to put everything together on Photo Story, I had to decide which lines of my script would go with each picture. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t talking too long on any picture. Last, I had to import music into the background. I decided I wanted to include an actual Cape Verdean song to provide a more authentic feeling. I chose an instrumental version of a song I had in my itunes library that I thought would mesh well with the pictures and my narration.
