Hungry?

I did the Storytelling through Text assignment, and since I love my Bitmoji so much, I thought it would be fun if I used her to tell a story! Using my Bitmoji always makes me feel like I am Hillary Duff in her Lizzie McGuire tv series from the early 2000s. This was easy, I just needed an assistant! So we had a conversation with just our Bitmojis (which I have done before, but usually there would be some texts involved and not just the Bitmojis). One thing I would have changed was being able to find my bitmoji’s faster, but the app was giving me some trouble when I was searching, which made the story go slower. Also, I would have included background music after I had uploaded it to my computer with a video editing software, but with the past webassignments we’ve had to do these last couple of weeks I have been running into a lot of trouble with Youtube’s copyright infringement rules, so I was afraid that they would take my video down.

This assignment was the Storytelling Through Text assignment

Did you lock the door?

For this assignment, we had to tell a story through text message.

I decided to tell a horror story by asking my boyfriend to help me out. I wrote out a script so that the text messages would come in at a decent speed. I used Apple’s preset screen recorder and turned it on. I then told my boyfriend that it was time to start texting it each other. We recorded the following….

So, did you lock the door?

To complete this assignment, I uploaded the video footage to YouTube and then linked it to this blog post.

 

Storytelling Through Text

Chances are you’ve probably seen those creepy ads on YouTube which tells horror stories through text. Now it’s your turn to tell a story. It can be horror, comical, or serious… it is up to you! Grab a friend (or two phones and text yourself back and forth) and text each other to tell a story. Before you start texting, make sure to turn on the camera so you can record the story or download an app to record your screen.
