Revision Plan - Catalina

For my most recent revision I plan to make the visual elements of my story more personal, fix minor details in order to make the story flow better, and to modify the videos of the Amazon at the end. There are several parts of my story where I use images from the internet rather than personal images. For example, the first image can be changed from the impersonal picture of a mute button to a picture of me with my hand over my mouth and the work “mute” written on my hand. Later in the narrative I have a picture of a girl with question marks above her head. I plan to change this image to a picture of me. There are certain pictures that I cannot make more personal however. For instance, the pictures of the child being bullied or the pictures of my friend and I when we were young. Although these images make the story slightly less personal, I think it adds dynamism to and enhances the relatable nature of the story because it demonstrates that many others have the same experiences: being bullied as a child and finding solace in a friend.
Furthermore, I will fix the quality of some of the images used by exporting them at a higher resolution. The images of my paper and work on ArcGIS were very blurry so they need to be enhanced in order for the audience to appreciate them. Additionally, there was an image of the Swanson School of Engineering logo that was not cropped correctly, so I will modify that.

Finally, the videos of the Amazon need to be refined. Because one of the clips I have at the top is much shorter than the one next to it, it disappears quickly leaving a black space for too long that can be distracting to the audience. I will slow down the shorter video so that it disappears at the same time as the one next to it and then the video at the bottom will grow to fill the screen.
