Something about Digital Medium


It is my first time to write a digital story with so many people. I sometimes enjoying writing about my feelings on my blog and I've write some fictions on my writing class. However, that is my first time to write a digital story. The digital finished by the whole class is better than my imagination. Everyone have a different story, no matter where we start to write the story, we have a entire story in our mind, some details we give might be the most important clues we expect. Also, in this project, we can publish the digital by the medium. The illustration that we got on the Internet can also make the story more vivid.

The appearance digital medium has a significant influence on our daily life. In the past, the medium we use most must be print. People read printed books instead of electronic books. Also, we now can use some website like Google to find more information. The pictures we have in our digital story can make us be more interested in the story.

As for research, they are similar when you think of how to write them. Both of the digital project and the research paper need to have a theme at first. The next step is to have a draft and plan for the organization. They are similar because they both have to go through the few steps that every article have. However, they are different because the research paper has to be more academic, you may use some slangs in the digital story to make fun but it is not supposed to appear in the research paper.

I think the readers for the digital might be teenagers. Because it is short and we the writers are not that old and knowledgeable so that it might be a little bit simple for the old. I think some books I read about adventure have influences how I think of the development if this digital stories. As the first few group mentioned the box and the map, I actually think it might be an adventure to the treasure at last. This makes me think of the books and the movies, even movies can make the audience see what is happening on the book, many people still think that it is better to read book. It is true, because in the movie, many details are changed. Also, you can imagine more and understand more about the theme of the books.

  1. I agree with you in the fact that digital mediums have heavily effected the way that people communicate and read stories. The use of Google different blogs make it so much easier to see different opinions on subjects which brings people to think more about different subjects.

  2. i found it interesting that the story end the way it is. it never ever cross my mind that it going to end like it did. collaboration in this project makes it exciting, not just the moment while doing it but also the product of the project. it is true that different people have different idea, and also they way we think about it also different. that's the reason why the story end like that.
