The End of a Great Time
We have came to an end with the posts about my university course assignments. The end of the term is coming soon and this will be my last assignment, to write a final blog.
The Terrifying Assassin and First Digital Storytelling Experience
As another university assignment we were given a task to create a digital story. I have prepared this story with Muhammet Berkay Seçer who have helped me in most of my tasks.
We were supposed to create a story with images or video footage and with dubbing. Our story was supposed to be longer than two minutes.
We used Pixton to create images for our story and Vegas Pro to edit it together. We first wrote the script and created the images relevant to it with pixton. Then, we recorded our lines. I recorded my voice through the pre-existing sound recorder of my computer and my friend Berkay recorded his lines through his phone. Then we combined our voices, images and sound effects and edited it accordingly.
Pixton was very useful for this task. It consisted all the materials we needed for our story. It was a bit complex to use at first but we quickly got used to it. We also did not have any problems in voice recording. Editing the content took longer than any other part but thanks to Berkay's experince with the program, Vegas Pro got all the things we needed done.
Digital storytelling was the best task we have done in our course. We were able to use our creativity freely because we only had limitations on time and nothing else. I will definitely assign a similar project to my future students. With proper help and guidance I am sure that students will create extremely creative and quality content.
Overall, I think it is a must to try to create a digital story.

The Poster of My Dreams
Recently I have created a poster as a university course assignment. In this assignment we were supposed to do the assignment alone so I do not have any friends I will mention.
I used Canva as a tool to prepare my digital poster. Canva was pretty helpful in completing my assignment. It was easy to use and had more than enough features altough some of them required paid subscriptions. The ones that were not free were actually the things I needed but I managed to make do without them. Overall the project did not take long to finish thanks to Canva and my creativity.
The poster is actually a magazine cover. It is about rock music in Turkey. I have written things that I would want to see in a Turkish Rock magazine. I mentioned some of my favourite musicians such as Hayko Cepkin and Barış Manço. After doing this assignment I wished that somewhere, someone would actually make this magazine real because I want to read something like that so much.
If we come to the pedagogical side of things, I will probably assign my students a similar task in the future. Maybe with the support of art teachers I could get my students to prepare posters of their own dreams and help them improve their creativity.
I recommend preparing a digital poster anytime.
