"Stories move in circles. They don't move in straight lines. So it helps if you listen in circles. There are stories inside stories and stories between stories, and finding your way through them is as easy and as hard as finding your way home. And part of the finding is getting lost. And when you're lost, you start to look around and listen." Quote taken from Digital Storytelling Cookbook by Joe Lambert. This quote explained how much depth a story can have. A story doesn't have to follow any particular pattern. There are stories within stories, and the more in depth, the better. This can help to show the different layers of a person. This quote helped me to better understand that.

Garrison stated "If you don't know, ask someone. Life offers special bonus points for asking questions and not pretending knowledge." I couldn't agree more with this quote! Luckily, I have a great workgroup for this class. I'm sure they are getting tired of my stupid questions, but it sure makes me feel better to have people to run things by to keep me from making a mistake.

"A well-composed static shot is the clearest communicator in your shot inventory." I agree with this quote. A well-composed static shot allows the audience to absorb a scene without distraction. If you use it well it can also speak volumes to the viewer.

"If you search using a phrase, such as “shape tool,” place quotation marks around the phrase. The search returns only those topics containing all the words in the phrase." (Adobe.(n.d.) Adobe Premiere Elements 7: Using resources. Retrieved April 23, 2009, from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremiereElements/7.0/WSA826BC5C-2FA7-4a1a-92F4-8B5538783B39.html) I found this quote very helpful. I never knew that you should place quotation marks around the phrase in order to return results that contain all of the words in the phrase.
