Storyboards

Storyboards and Scripts
Script—the written text of a stage play, screenplay, or broadcast; specifically: the one used in production or performance. [This definition would apply to videoes in the classroom also.] Storyboard—a panel or series of panels on which a set of sketches is arranged depicting consecutively the important changes of scene and action in a series of shots (as for film, television show, or commercial).


 * Why Storyboard?**
 * 1) Provide a means for brainstorming ideas.
 * 2) Help the students visualize what the finished product will look like.
 * 3) Help the students use their time and resources to the best advantage.
 * 4) Make it easier to plan how and what to edit for the final project. [Always remember, it is easier to change the storyboard than to edit the videotape.]
 * 5) Cut down on the amount of time needed to edit a project.
 * 6) Keep everyone on the “same page” during the production process.
 * 7) Help avoid missed opportunities for camera shots that should have been taken.
