In this beginning of the quarter, we will plane to make a digital storytelling and present it at the end of the class. At first, I worried about a story, because I do not have any interesting story to tell our class. As many people said, I live in the common world with normal daily life without interesting, so choosing topic is the most difficult thing during DST. Also, another difficulty was that I do not have enough images included in the story after decided the topic which was the journey in Sydney. I had took a lot of picture in Sydney, but I do not came with images in the U.S. However, my brother upload the image on the internet, so this problem was clearly solved by my brother's efforts. During this project, the most interesting thing was also images. I spent a lot of time to search images on the internet, especially Google web site, and there were many funny images. I just want to find "good bye" but one of images show man who hangover in the sofa, so finding images on the internet was very interest. Through the DST, I can find some kind of similarity between writing and making video. Both writing and DST have a Intellectual properties, so I should quote some images or music which found on the internet after finished video by using credit. However, I do not consider plagiarism in the DST, because it was my own word and expressions.

For this project, I use the image which founded on the internet. At first, I do not think about credit to cite the image, because images on the internet are common and used by many people. However, after I leaned plagiarism, I understand that illegally using images also kind of plagiarism. This is because, the Image have intellectual property likewise writing, so when I use images which is not mine, I should cite the images.
