Self-Evaluation – Digital Narrative #1 On October 30th, 2017, I presented a digital narrative in Communication 350 – Digital Storytelling. The narrative was on a fandom, which I selected anime as mine. Moreover, after viewing my narrative in class, I came to notice there was a lot of room for improvement. Even so, I feel I did a decent job and met the assignment guidelines. All in all, I sense that my narrative came across better to others than myself. I suppose I am my own worst critic. In terms of how I will view my digital narrative in the future, I believe that I will most likely forget about it in a few years’ time.

As of now, I am not looking to get more views on my digital narrative. This is because it was the first video of its kind that I have ever made. In the past, I have done work on lyrical videos with just still pictures in the background. This project, for me, was not as simple as I expected it to be. Nevertheless, I feel that if I was to practice more with Adobe Premiere, I could easily make more detailed videos. With that, if I was to revise this first narrative, I sense that I would be able to get more views on it. I also would be able to get more points across, because I would make the video
