Introduction<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
My narrative area of focus encompasses a huge array of content that becomes the center of my attention for an incredible amount of creativity. I created projects surrounding music production, to short stories, to entire narrative films. This is by far my longest extending project unit that will contain the most quality and work invested.<\/article>\n

Storytelling is one of the things that I struggle the most with. Being able to tell a story is one skill that I strive to be the best at and this unit of my work invested me the most in areas that are unknown to me. I grew heavily doing this project and my ability to generate compelling, smart stories surged more than it ever has through this.\u00a0<\/article>\n

Our story telling began with our English class when we created our very own short stories. With our own characters and our own plots that we pitched, our stories would become the basis of our projects. However, not only was I able to tell stories through the visual aspect, but through sound design as well. In our digital media class we created an audiobook of our stories. These stories would not just be reading to our audiences, but they would contain sounds and ambience in order to build the atmosphere and truly immerse the readers into the books. In our film class we pitched story ideas and created story boards of film ideas in preproduction. We then brought these pitched stories to life in our cinematic final narrative films.<\/article>\n<\/section>\n

Story<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
In our English class we had to create a full length short story that included the usage of metaphors, story design, act development, and optional character design. This would help begin our narrative unit and start our way into our story building for our electives. What inspired me for my story was a couple of short stories that I had previously read as well as a few events surrounding my life at the time.<\/article>\n
For our project, we had to create an audio book for our short stories to immerse our audiences into the world we were building. We were able to record ourselves and place them into sound cloud for people to listen as they read along. But not only would this just be a reading, but we added sound effects and ambiance to spice up the audio and make the story feel all the more alive<\/article>\n
During this project I especially valued the sound design that freestyle allowed us to have the freedom of. We had learned Adobe Audition in order to create this piece and being able to work with sound design is one of my favorite things to do. Making something that is quiet and bland feel alive and moving is quiet beautiful to me. Here is a short story I created and made into an audiobook with sound and ambience. This story is called barrel.<\/article>\n
