1. Making great productions takes
more than great ideas.
You need the right raw material.
The storyboard can be used as a
reminder of the productions content and sequence.
Storyboards can also be used to produce the resources
to be used in the production.

2. The storyboarding of a presentation is a process.
Storyboarding is used to plan,
produce and
evaluate multimedia presentations.

3. Planning means
“developing an outline”
A Storyboard is a pictorial and/or
written synopsis of text, graphics,
videos, animations, etc. shown
in the order they will appear in the
finished presentation.
Professional moviemakers
storyboard every scene
and camera angle.

4. What Does a Storyboard Do For You??
First, it is a way to work out and discuss your ideas.
Second, it is a visualization of how your final product will look.
Third, it is a description of how the production is sequenced and
put together.
Fourth, it is a step by step guide to making and shooting your video, presentation or animation.

5. Be careful though.
A storyboard doesn't illustrate every moment in the production.
It is not a frame by frame breakdown of the story,
but rather a scene by scene breakdown.
In each of your storyboard drawings, you want to single out the essential details needed to communicate the information in that particular scene.
There are two ways to do this, a visual description and a written description.

6. Three basic steps. 1. Break down your story into its component parts.
2. Judge and choose what
shots angles and
frame sizes you will put in
your project.
3. Develop and put your
project together.

8. Advance planning will help ensure that you
have good shots.
Basic videography techniques will make for
results that are more professional.

9. You do not have to shoot your
scenes in sequence, that is why we use editors.
Describe all of the camera action.
Use a variety of camera shots and angles.
Use varied lengths of scenes.

10. Too many people mistake a
camera for a fire hose
They sweep across the scene, panning
left and right and back again
They zoom in and out, making the viewers
wondering whether they’re coming or going.

15. Use a variety of shot lengths.
Use longer shots for complex
scenes, such as a wide shot
of a city street.
Use shorter shots for
close-ups or reaction shots.

16. Storyboard Terms
Start with an
establishing shot
that clues viewers
in on where your
story takes place.

17. From there, you might cut to a
medium shot that introduces
your movie's subject.
Next, you might cut away to
Mary tossing the ball.
Cut back to Bobby, and then
finish with a long shot of the
entire scene.

19. Written Scripts Only Used for larger productions.
The storyboard previously created offers a visual summary.
Scripts provide more detail and precise instructions.

20. Resembles a basic outline, only show
Semi-Scripted Shows
Resembles a basic outline, only show
segments and times stated.
Segments may be spontaneous.
Brought together “on the fly.”
Opening and closing fully scripted but individual segments are only outlines.

22. Fully Scripted Shows Complete audio and video for every minute.
Unpleasant surprises are minimized.
Every shot in production is fully written out.
Clear, step by step format.
Material presented creatively, success is when all audience had same clear idea.

24. Getting your audience’s attention:
Logical and linear is the most natural approach.
Techniques such as flashbacks and parallel stories add variety and help to stimulate.
Getting your audience’s attention:
Emotions
Fresh
Care
Variety

25. Spicing Up Interviews Talking heads vs narrative.
Add variety with video and sound
Short segments intercut with related material.
Increase pace and interest.

26. Final Thoughts
To capture and hold attention, productions must engage the audience quickly.
Leave the audience with a positive impression
Have an effective ending.
In between you must keep interest by
varying pace, emotional content
and presentation style.
