STORYBOARD: Write a GOOD Storyboard!

What is a STORYBOARD?

     A storyboard is a sequence of images and words drawn together on a page to form a plausible narrative.
     Storyboards are routinely used in the movie making business to 'preview' a movie before a single shot is taken. Not only does a storyboard allow for a dress rehearsal of the final product but by the very fact of being posted on the wall,it elicits early feedback and encourages quick, painless editing, leading to significant savings in time and resources.
     Disney was a storyboarding freak!
     A storyboard is an apt metaphor for how we make sense of our own life history.      Storyboarding can be used to sense emergent patterns in our own life story and to envision the life experiences that we wish to welcome into our future.
     Try storyboarding the past and future events in your Life!

Landscapes

Taking and looking at Landscape Pictures:

Tips for taking Landscape Pictures 1

Tips for taking Landscape Pictures 2

For your next assignment you are going to be taking Landscape pictures.  We will be going outside and taking landscapes around the building and then you may sign out cameras to take them after school as well.  For this assignment I want you to take at least 20 photo's of each of the following subjects:

1.  A building in the picture

2.  An object in the picture, does not need to be the focus

3.  Water, the Lake or River

4.  Trees/Hills

5.Sun Rise/Set or Moon

Example Photos:

This last piece really is a wonderful picture in so many ways.  It has objects in the middle that lead you into the picture of the Rock/object in the lake with the sun setting in the background and the different colors and shapes within the clouds.
