Storyboard Workshop

Questions to answer:

Does the story offer a hook? Are you immediately interested?

Is the focus of the video clear from the beginning?

Are there points where it gets muddy or confusing?

Has the artists consider the visual elements clearly enough and do the visual elements align with the story? In other words, are they of the same style?

Given what you’ve seen from the first 16 panels, what are your expectations about what will come next?

What are you most interested in finding out?

How has the artist considered the interests of the audience?

Rate the storyboard on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the highest.

Here is a video we may discuss in class called "Internetting with Amanda Hess: The White Internet's Love of Digital Blackface."

Good work last night creating these mini-stories using either giphy.com or gifpaint. This exercise will be useful to you when we start doing our video work, and also in thinking more closely about the elements of fiction. All of your gifs have taken on the challenge of starting in a moment of crisis, developing that conflict, and then resolving it, all in five or six short frames. Keep this idea in mind while you're drafting your podcast scripts and later when we're story boarding the video. You can also use these tools to integrate interactive into your videos down the road.

Here are the stories from Thursday night.
