Two new items have been added to the footer menu: the Demo DIY Blog and the Mini Lessons page. We'll be using that mini-lessons page regularly.
Rather than working on our current project until you are 'done', you are now required to work on it until we move on to the next project as a class.
It is never perfect. There are always improvements that can be made.
Learning objective: Given a written and oral description of a short scene with no dialogue, you will be able to create a storyboard with at least twelve frames.
Introduction
"A storyboard is a graphic layout that sequences illustrations and images with the purpose of visually telling a story." (Link). This activity is similar to the previous activity, but this time you'll be making a storyboard for a shorter scene with no dialogue. The focus of this activity is exploring how you can use different shots to create different moods in the audience, such as suspense, humor, drama, etc.
The situation used for this activity is purposefully vague and ambiguous. It can be interpreted in many different ways, and that's by design. You can choose what the relationship is between the two people. Are they enemies? Family? Friends? Total strangers? You can also choose what the final action between them is. It might be a handshake, a slap, a hug or kiss, or a high five.
Step One
Read the following situation and think about how you want to interpret it.
Two people enter a very large room from opposite sides. (Or this could take place in something like a basketball court or large field.)
They walk towards each other, meet in the middle of the room, and then one or both take some sort of action, such as shaking hands, bowing, hugging, or exchanging some sort of look or facial expression.
Step Two
Create a storyboard with at least twelve frames for this situation.
You can use any of the storyboard templates you like, and you can complete them either by hand or digitally.
Step Three
Share your storyboard with the class.
Keep your storyboards! You'll need them for a future activity.
