Group Project: Park photostory

In my project, I used Photo Story 3 for windows to create a video. The park story aims to provide the information about the following parks:
1. Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens.
2. Hong Kong Park and
3. H.K. Wetland Park.

Photostory is a good method to present information about tourists attractions. The photostory includes features that enable us to create a slideshow with our digital pictures with music. We can edit our pictures, create our story with music, add narration, and share them with our classmates, family and friends.

My story includes motion, music, zoom effects and picture rotation. The special effects and transitions are also included. Each park contains 8 to 9 photos.

Benefits:
1. Readers can easily view the parks photos and videos with their Pocket PC and play them back in the Windows Media Player.
2.The tourists can increase their knowlege about parks.

Your comments are most welcome.

Park photostory

Photo Story 3 for Windows is a free software which lets us to put digital images together with text, music and narration in the form of a slideshow or photo-movie. We can use photostory to give a description of specific area and make a record of a trip. The multimedia resource is useful to our daily life.

Set up Photostory:
1. Rotate imported pictures and size them to fit the screen.
2. Add text with different size, font and colours.
3. Record a narration for each slide and insert a sound file in story.
4. Edit pictures by Microsoft Powerpoint (File/Save As/Save as type/JPEG File Interchange Format) and import them into Photo Story 3.
