Week 3: Scott Anderson — response to viewings

The one site that stood out to me most this week was the Interview Project site that is run by David Lynch. At first, I thought I was going to hate it because when the page is loaded, all you see are these thumbnails. At first, I couldn’t figure out if they were pictures or […]

Week 3: Steven Wheeler – Response to Viewings

“Listening is hard.” This statement, which can be found in the Center for Digital Storytelling’s credo, points to the obstacles that the pace of life and chattering of social spaces present to the listening process. On further reflection, however, it seems like a bit of a misdiagnosis. The existence of sites like CDS, Mapping Memories, […]

Week 3 – De Lyser

With the exception of The Interview Project, I was not as engaged by the digital media I reviewed this week as I was in weeks past. In some cases it was the content. In others it was the production.

I ended up asking myself […]

Week #3 – Lauren Marie Paterson – Context for the Digital Story

I am constantly amazed throughout this class that these communities of online sites exist. I grew up in the Southern Idaho town of Twin Falls where we had quite a few refugees. One of my close friends from Armenia had lived with her family in a Catholic church for four years before being able to […]

Week 3: Brett Harmon

This week we had to look into the context, specifically the context in which a story is being told to us by our subject or interviewee. The context can be the difference between a strong and powerful interview and one that is attempting to be that but loses all of its power in the transition. […]
