Digital Storytelling and Reel Works

I watch the following video:


1. I liked the digital story, because it gave a reason behind why people sag their pants, there were interviews with many views, and a very straightforward investigation.
2. I learned that there are very many views of the sagging pants phenomenon and that the reasons people share this fashion are varied and their standards of dress are different.
3. I expected the digital story to be uninteresting and full of bias, but it was very entertaining and shared a balanced view. I did not expect the surveying section of the video; I thought is was going to be a dry documentary-type video.
4. There were many young people who voiced their opinions in the interviews, because they have opinions and the interviewers allowed them to represent themselves in a fashion that was easy on those being interviewed. This video helped me understand a bit about the sagging pants trend (which I still see as disgusting). These digital stories are an easy and modern way to tell stories, share opinions, and spread knowledge throughout the world. Self-esteem can be built by designing, creating, and displaying modern projects (like digital video storytelling) for the world to see. Students can feel as though they are talking to the world, and the world is listening.
