Dear Emily,

Thanks for your appreciation. Hope others will enjoy while watching this photostory. But I personally think that there were too much words for captions.

With Regards,
Dorothy Tsang

Dear Dorothy,
What a happy journey you have! I had been there ten years ago. I went there during the Christmas holiday. I remembered that we had been skiing, visiting the village of knieth. Where you have been ?

Hi Dorothy,

You have made a excellent use of photostory to tell us about “Hokkaido”. Infact I have been to Japan 6 years back and covered entire Japan except Hokkaido. It is good to know about their ettiques and attire. I know that Hokkaido is famous for its ice sculpture show during winter. Did you go during winter or summer?

Kavitha.

Hi Dorothy,

The video file is pretty good.
But I have a few comment on it:
– it may probably contains too much words on a single screen
(since the audience is using the same “visual channel” in reading
the text and the photo at the back, the audience will become
“overloaded visually”.
– some of the Photos’ Start and End position (focusing / zooming)
are not properly concerned.

Recommendation:
+ use narration rather than words
+ The Photos’ Start and End position (focusing / zooming)
can be further adjusted so that the key idea in each photo
is appropriately be addressed.

Dear Dorothy,

I am very appreciated at your storyboard about Japan, especially the “share” and “watch again”

Dear classmates,

Thanks for your productive suggestions. To conclude all your comments, as the photomovie with the learning purpose, the topics must be attractive and the clear illustration with narration would be an advantage.

Regards,
Dorothy
