Working across visual, design, audio, and video categories showed me that each medium has its own strengths; images capture moments, design shows progression, audio creates atmosphere, and video ties everything together. I learned technical skills in GIMP, Canva, Audacity, and Clipchamp, but more importantly, I learned how to think about storytelling across multiple platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most surprising lesson was discovering that sound alone can be as powerful as visuals. Creating the sound effects story forced me to think about narrative without relying on images or words. It came down to just pure audio storytelling. I also learned the importance of planning and organization; having a clear narrative arc from the beginning made it much easier to choose which assignments fit my story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What I Would Do Differently<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I took this class again, I would likely add more to my content now that I have a pretty good hang of how things work in the creative space. I wouldnt struggle as much with the mechanisms, and could really get more creative with my works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Most Exciting Aspect<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most exciting part of this semester was actually this project; watching the USB drive become a real character was really fun! At first, it seemed strange to tell a story from an inanimate object&#8217;s perspective, but as I created each media piece, the USB&#8217;s &#8220;voice&#8221; became clearer. By the end, it really came together better than I thought it would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found the design\/visual projects to be the most fun; it allowed me to really just spill out ideas, add and remove as I go, and just kind of relax while doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, this project pushed me to think creatively across multiple platforms while maintaining a cohesive narrative. It challenged me technically and I&#8217;m proud of the story I created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Links to other Blog Posts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/villamizarcaleb.com\/?p=205\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"205\"><strong>Before and After<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/villamizarcaleb.com\/?p=203\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"203\"><strong>Hidden Memories<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What I Learned This project taught me how different media formats can tell the same story in completely unique ways.
