ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION:
This is a group assignment, please submit one assignment for the team, with all team member names included. For group submissions, any student in the group is free to submit the assignment but it is ultimately the responsibility of the Project Manager/Editor to ensure each assignment is submitted on time.
This is the equivalent of an outline of a paper – this allows the instructors to provide feedback on your script, research, images, and overall narrative perspective. Good storyboards will allow us to “see” your video. We expect groups to use the comments we’ll provide in future revisions of your video.
If you group is taking on a more labor intensive project that requires more time (e.g. making a stop motion video, filming on location, conducting multiple interviews), contact Danielle to discuss modified storyboard expectations.
Before starting, please watch this 3 minute video, Storyboarding for Videos, from the DDS.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Use this storyboarding template to organize your visuals, script, and sequence. This template is also found in the Resources folder on Trunk.
1. Complete Script: if you were to record this tomorrow, this is everything that you would say in your video.
2. Complete Images: every image you will pair with the narration in your text is required. If you are using videos, please include a screenshot from these.
3. Production Details: include information such as transitions, slide length, and any additional sound effects you will be using. Indicate if images are screenshots from shorter videos.
