Ken Burns Effect

Ken Burns had changed the way documentaries are produced. He uses old photographs of the Civil War, The Jazz Age, or World War One and zooms in or pans across or zooms out to create the effect of movement. These still photos then appear to be like a video. This technique is named after him---the Ken Burns effect. You will find examples of his work or the work of others who have learned this technique in YouTube, Google Video, and TeacherTube.

We will use this technique when we use the program Photostory3.
