DISCUSSION: TIME TO STORYBOARD!
NOTE TO MENTORS:
This week no videos - time should be spent researching and writing scripts.
In their groups, have students begin the process of creating a storyboard based on the feedback provided as well as the group's idea of how to best get their point across without the use of dialogue or voice-overs. Students are encouraged to draw examples in each box and describe the shot below the box to highlight camera movement, shot type and any other direction that is necessary. If students don't feel comfortable drawing, the use of stick figures is certainly acceptable as the storyboard is less about the artistic talent (at this level) but more of story development. It is encouraged that color pencils be available and for students to add as much color and real-life expectations as they can.
Remind the students that a good storyboard should make the filming process easier because it is the recipe for which the filming follows.
STORYBOARD
Things to Think About:
• What characters are in the scene? What do they say? How do they
communicate?
• How will this scene deepen the audience’s understanding of the characters and their interpersonal relationships?
• How will the audience feel the emotion you intend?
• Does the scene make sense, given what has preceded it?
• If it is an adaptation, does your scene alter the original story more than it should?
