Point of View:
My digital story will likely be from my point of view. I might try to tell it third person but I'm unsure if it will sound right. My story's message, and title possibly, is, "Life ain't a track meet, it's a marathon". It is important to tell people this message so they know they know life goes on and they can improve and also no matter how well they are doing bad decisions can cause them lose their way. I think my audience could potentially be very broad. It is an important message for teenagers but people trying to move on from a divorce might also benefit.
Dramatic Question:
"At what point is someone's fate determined?"
Emotional Content:
I will share some of my life experiences that showed I was an at-risk youth who was likely counted out by many teachers. Then I will share how I changed to become a different person. I will also include some information about my best friend in high school who had a GPA of 4.3 due to excelling in honors classes. She became an alcoholic and committed suicide at age 28.
Voice: I like the suggestion of talking as if I'm talking over a cup of coffee. I will narrate and hope to be able to surprise my viewer throughout the story with twists in the story and changes in inflection.
Soundtrack: I agree instrumental music will likely be best but I may use some music with lyrics briefly.
Economy: I hope the narrated story is full of ups and downs that keep the audience interested. The pictures and music hopefully will give a fullness to the story that help make words and narration less necessary (i.e. a picture is worth a thousand words).
Pacing: I hope to have a steady pace to help get to the point of each idea then allow a moment for brief reflection during strong endings of ideas.
