For our final project for COMM 7728, we were asked to create a digital ethnography. An ethnography is the description of one's customs and culture. I have created my own digital ethnography using my own personal pictures. This is like an auto biography, but in digital form. I took a collection of pictures from when I was young to present day and created a slide show.
To put all of these pictures together, I used a program called Soundslides. Soundslides gives you the opportunity to create a slide show using a variety of pictures and movement. In order to add text to some of the slides, I used Microsoft Powerpoint and then saved each of the slides as a JPEG in order for them to be viewed as a picture in the program.
I used Audacity to cut different songs together to create a musical background. The songs that I chose had meaning to them as they went over each picture. So the choosing of the songs was very important to me. I am not one that enjoys hearing my voice as a narrator, so I preferred hearing the music instead. To get the music clips, I used a Youtube audio converter. It took a lot of time and work but it was a fun creation. I hope you enjoy my video.
