Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Visual Narrative Project asked Juniors, “How well can you visually tell a structured story?” Students practiced communicating character and story arcs through descriptive writing, digital art, storyboards, films, and animations. In addition, through learning a variety of professional equipment and applications such as Wacom Digital Drawing Pads, lighting equipment downshooters, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Animate, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Avid Pro Tools, Propellerhead Reason, HTML\/CSS, DragonFrame, and Google Apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all of my classes, I valued how the Visual Narrative Projects helped me to improve my storytelling skills in different forms. In English, the Flash Fiction project pushed me to expand my abilities to produce a creative, descriptive, and detailed piece of writing, while in Digital Media, the audio production project allowed me to experiment with different music and sound effects, to convey a specific feeling\/atmosphere of the story I wrote in English. Finally, I valued how the Narrative Creature and Narrative Portrait projects in Design allowed me to gain more knowledge and skill in the Adobe Illustrator program as well as make my Narrative Story come to life visually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assignment in English was to write a Flash Fiction story with any topic. The inspiration for my story, “The Letter,” was a combination of my own life and experiences as a high schooler and as someone with siblings. My Flash Fiction is about Elaine Lee, a senior in high school, who recently got a letter of acceptance for her dream internship. However, the same day she got the letter of acceptance for her internship, her younger sister Chloe got in a bike accident and now needs to use crutches to get around. With their parents busy with their jobs, it\u2019s now Elaine\u2019s responsibility to take care of Chloe and get her to the places she needs to be. My story takes place on the first day of Elaine\u2019s internship, where she\u2019s determined to get there on time and make a good first impression. At the same time, she also needs to make sure Chloe gets to school on time which results in growing anxiousness and panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Digital Media, our project was to produce an audio version of our Flash Fiction from English. To do this, I used the recording booths in the Digital Media classroom to record, and the software ProTools to edit the audio, which included adding music as well as sound effects. Through this process, I valued how I was able to learn how to express through not just writing, but also in audio production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
