Storyboards

My previous post about digital storytelling was all about important elements of a story. Digital storytelling can be done by anyone, but captivating an audience takes thought and dedication. There is much planning that goes into telling stories digitally. First, one must decide on a story to tell. In this instance, my partner and I thought it would be nice to have students work on science and character traits. After you have an idea of what you want, you need to plan. An activity plan comes in handy as a teacher because it shows what TEKS will be learned through the making of this video and what the expected outcomes are. After this is when you create a storyboard. A storyboard is a visual map of what you want the video to look like. It shows what the each shot is about and how long it is. When all this is complete, it is time to make a movie! Make sure you keep up with the blog; movie coming soon!

  1. LMFAO!! I love your storyboard pictures. Who drew them?! Man, your storyboard is a lot cleaner then mine is. You can really tell just be looking at it what yall's movie is going to be about. I can't wait to see the end result! Good job on your activity plan too! It is very important to know what you are doing before you jump into making a movie. I find that everyone thinks that it is easy making a 60 second movie but once you get out into the field you realize that is tougher than we think it is.
