Image Story Tell-All

When creating my image story (found under a tab at top), I wanted to portray the ideas of a day and night through the different locations that I have experienced both the day and night of. I used text to name each location and also a short phrase about the significance of the day and night specific to that location that triggered memories for me. I also added a place I would want to experience the day and night of if I had the chance some day. The meaning of this was to express places of importance to me, somewhere in which hold a lot of memories to me (both in the daytime and night time). It shows somewhere that my life has led me at one point in time throughout it and the experience of day and night life there. The last two pictures wrap up what I was attempting to get across in my story, that every dark night has a brighter day.

In class, my professor had each student pull up the image story they created on their computer. We each went around and viewed our classmates work, leaving them written responses concerning the punctum and story. I enjoyed reading the punctum responses I got about my image story. A comment reads "I love the flow here! everything gently floats up or down based on time of day, it's really clever!" Some of my classmates shared a personal tie they felt they had to some of my pictures. All my classmates seemed to understand the story I was aiming to get across. Although I was surprised to see that one classmate had a hard time understanding that the pictures sequenced from a day photo and then a night photo at the same place. They had stated that the pictures seemed random and that they did not get it. I cannot please everyone but I believe I did a decent job getting my point across considering the majority of my classmates understood it. If I were to do this project over differently, maybe one thing I could have changed was to have made some kind of gap between the set of day to night pictures. This could maybe have made the sequence a little more pronounced to take away any confusion. 

I personally took all images used in my image story, except the two Consol Energy Center pictures, the two eiffel tower pictures, and the night Hollywood picture. Those five images were found on Google Images.
