Background
For this project, students will create a simple, six-shot storyboard. Students will use this storyboard to shoot and edit their first video project.
For this project you will plan, shoot, and edit a video whose topic is something inside the classroom. For example, the tarantula, the computers, a desk, or a chair. It can be something serious or something silly.
Directions
Label a fresh sheet in your journal with the heading: "Story Board Activity #01".
- Draw six squares of approximately equal size on the sheet.
- Leave approximately two lines of space in between each row of boxes.
- Label the boxes #1-6.
After you have created the six squares:
- Choose one of the six shots from the Video Editing Basics assignment to be your first shot in this video.
- Label square #1 with the name of the shot you want to use.
- In square #1, sketch what you want that shot to look like.
- Make sure to indicate direction for any movements for the camera and/or actors/actresses in the shot.
- In the space under square #1, make any notes about the shot you can't easily sketch.
- Examples include: sound effects or music for the scene, props, and lightning levels.
- Repeat these steps for the remaining five squares.
- Your finished storyboard should include SIX UNIQUE SHOTS, one PAN, one ZOOM, and one TILT.
