Show Don't Tell exercises

Show Don't Tell is an imaginative exercise where you take two disparate images and craft a spontaneous narrative. Your final storyboard and script are part one of a two-part project. The second-part of the project removes chance and requires the students to select 2-6 specific photos from their personal aresnal in order to create a script and storyboard.

Show Don't Tell is a project designed to exercise non-verbal and imaginative cues that help remove excessive language. We are filmmakers and can use so many other elements of the screen to tell the story.

In Celtx write your script and email the final script to a peer for review. Once someone else has given you feedback and your have made the necessary adjustments, then send email to Bravo. Your final storyboard can be hand drawn, digital photos laid out on a google drive slide deck or document, or drafted as notes on Celtx. You must get the words off the paper and into a visual format in order to complete this project.
