You Tube
I just finished creating my Mastercard commercial with Photo Story 3. Using Photo Story was extremely easy (minus the fact that I couldn’t get any of my music from my computer on it). But luckily it has some music within the program that you can choose from. The music is somewhat cheesy and definetly not as fitting as other songs I can think of. Making the story was really fun too. I choose to do a more sappy/cute video, but it seemed fitting.
After putting my video on youtube I stopped and thought about anyone being able to watch that. It is pretty nerve wracking thinking about what others may think about your work. I have never published pictures on the internet for people I don’t know to see. My Facebook privacy settings are the highest they can be. So people cannot find me, add me, see me on other profiles etc. I’m sure someone could find a way around that, but it feels good knowing that random people can’t find me. Not that I have anything bad on there, it just creeps me out that people can see my life and know about my personal life without actually knowing me.
With all the videos on youtube, I am actually not worried about what people think about my video. I just thought about the reactions some people might have after watching it when I uploaded it. It will be interesting if people comment on it to see what they think. For my first upload on youtube and my first attempt with Photo Story, I think I did a decent job. There’s only one way to go from here…and that of course is up! If you want to check out my video, here it is.

Neat story Ashley. It can be nerve racking to publish personal photos, videos or even writing to the internet. In reality your video will slip into youtube without becoming viral and few strangers will come across it and if they do, they will ignore and keep on surfing. You have done a good job of the story and should be proud.

Very cute video Ashely. I was just wondering how you got the end pictures like they were? Are these people actually people that you know? I also understand the security issues as well considering I’m the same kind of person, except on facebook all I have blocked is people that are not my friends from seeing my profile, wall, pictures, etc. Blogs as well I’m kind of not too keen on, as in the whole world knowing and seeing my thoughts. I never even kept a diary before because of the idea that someone might read it. The internet is a very big place and if people are not careful enough, identities can be stolen or abused because of it. As teachers we need to be able to guide our students to not get hurt due to the internet. We also need to watch what is said and/or posted about ourselves in accordance to who might come across it, whether employers or students.
