Unit II--Lesson II--Adding Titles and Text with Microsoft Photo Story
In addition to images, text is also an important component in digital storytelling. Do you remember that in Unit I we discussed how all digital stories begin with a script? Well, here is where you put that script to good use. When using Microsoft Photo Story, the program allows you add titles and text from your script to the images that were previously imported. You can choose the colors and sizes that you want for your text. You can also position them to any area on your image.
In order to practice how to add titles and text to the story you began called "How to Grow a Flower," you will use the script provided in File:How to Grow a Flower Storyboard.doc.
