When I started my digital story project, I had no specific plan that will support me to finish this project successfully. I did not have lots of real pictures that illustrate several important scenes and my feelings about some interesting situations. I had only one real picture. Because I did not have lots of real pictures, I began to search pictures through internet. Mostly I tagged pictures from google web sites. I attempted to find pictures drawn by pen or pencile, because I did not want to tag pictures from other people. Therefore, most of pictures in my video are cartoon or picture drawn by pencile and pen. This project was really fun to me. When I tried to find pictures that illustrate my story, it was hard but also fun. In my opinion, this project is really challenging project, and also different meaningful project from academic writing project and essay assignments. Most academic writing and essay assignments should be organized and I should follow the steps. In those writings, I cannot reveal my feelings to some topic, rather I should write like I agree or I disagree with this topic because of several reasons and facts. It is really bored and hard to write creative essays. However, this digital story project does not have specific rules or steps. I can reveal my feelings and thinkings in many ways. I think this is the major difference between essay assignments and video project.

This video digital story project is kind of free assignment that we can create and appear our feelings and thinkings without limiting rules, but it requires students to use intellectual property to avoid plagiarism and academic misconduct. We have been learning academic misconduct and plagiarism since long time ago. We should used intellectual property at the end of this project. I used lots of pictures from internet sites, not from my own picture. It means I required to write reference resources to complete this project without any misconduct or against academic rules. I almost used over 25 pictures from internet. Mostly, I did reference resources and posted at the end of the video except few pictures. While I was doing this project, I realized that I should do posting or writing copywrite not only when I write essay and writing assignment, but also when I do video project and any other project if I use resources from internet, book, or even other people's opinions. As a result, I learned a lot of things again, and this project remind me again to do reference resources!
