Playing Response for Plotagon

    Plotagon seemed to be the easiest tool for translating a script into a video. The first step is creating the script in the program with is formulaic and easy to learn. You choose to set the scene, characters, dialogue and action with drop down boxes and selections linked in the script you create. Writing your own script in the program also allows it to offer a closed captioning option for viewers of your video. There are even music selections and sound effects within the program that you can add into your script. Timing the music and actions together is simple because it is all done within the script.  I really liked that in Create Mode the screen is divided between the script you created and the actual video. While it is easy to create, the only settings and characters available are either school, hospital, or business related.  Most of the basics are free, but you have to purchase to use some characters and backgrounds. I think I could change my script to fit the restrictions of this program because I really like how easy it is to use, but I’m not sure if it has characters and visuals that would be most effective in telling my story.
