In terms of pictures, in order to ensure the clarity of pictures, the author tries to search for high-pixel movie posters from the Internet, and then uses them in his own works after PS processing. It is not recommended to take screenshots directly from movies, because after many movies are compressed, the picture pixels become very small and there will be blurring. When using pictures, first of all, the pictures should be related to the theme, and don't use irrelevant pictures, which will cause cognitive load to the audience. If you really can't find relevant pictures, then don't use pictures, and the language should be concise. Sometimes, the effect without a picture will give the audience more imagination. Music is one of the indispensable elements of digital stories.
Embedding music in digital stories
1. Click "Insert-Movie and Sound-Sound in File" in turn, select the file to be used as background music in the "Insert Sound" dialog box that appears, then click "OK", and click "Automatic" button in the pop-up dialog box to insert the music object. 2. Click the inserted sound object (speaker icon) with the right mouse button, and select custom animation in the pop-up shortcut menu. In the Custom Animation task pane that appears, click the next arrow to the right of the music option that you just inserted, and then click Effect Options in the menu that appears. 3. In the pop-up "Play Sound" dialog box, in the "Effects" tab, select "After (F):XX slides" under "Stop playing" (XX is the middle number), and enter the appropriate number in the middle number increase or decrease box. This number can be set according to the total number of slides. For example, if there are 49 slides, you can set it to 50, so that the set number of slides will not be reached until the end of the slide, so the sound will not stop. If the inserted sound file is short, you can switch to the Timing tab and select the item "Until the end of the slide" in the drop-down list box after "repeat" to avoid the situation that there is no background music after the presentation because the sound file is too short. Also, don't forget to switch to the "Sound Settings" tab and select the item "Hide sound icons during slide show" so that the speaker icons are not displayed during the show.
