So we gave you two very different articles about storyboarding...what struck you as the most useful concepts that you would use now and possibly in the future?
You will do a storyboard for all of your projects. Not being able to draw - no excuse because stick figures are just fine.
I will remember that a storyboard is a visual outline of what your digital story will look like. I thought that the Oliver article was a bit high tech for me but it was good to see how important storybards can be in a business setting. I never knew that storyboarding software existed either.

I love the idea of using Post-It Notes when creating a storyboard. I am a person that will change something several times before getting the final product. By having each "scene" on a Post-It would save me time and ink by being able to move each one around until the final layout is decided.
ReplyDeleteI think that the besides the Post-It Notes idea the most useful part of the articles was letting me know that there are a variety of ways to create a storyboard and it's up to me to decide how I would like it done- low budget stick figures or high tech computer graphics.
With comparing the two article I think that both have great information but Writing Magazine article was easier for me to follow. The Oliver article was great but needed more visuals to help me understand the concepts better.
oops, I commented on these articles in my other blog! The Oliver article was more technical and showed how important and vital storyboarding is, not to mention that there is software out there that people can purchase (at a high price). The shorter article looks like a good reference for my students to read, who doesn't like a short article with pictures that is well written?
ReplyDeleteUm...are we suppose to comment on each entry about the same thing? I, Like Liz, made my comments on the other thread...Julie M
ReplyDeleteI'm a planner, so I definitely understand the importance of storyboarding. It's like a rough draft for a research paper. Not doing it costs more time. I can't draw though!
ReplyDeleteI would love to use storytelling software like Storytelling Quick. I also was moved by the Folklife site. I can't believe I was not aware of Digital Storytelling before this class!
That last comment was by me, Eden :)
ReplyDeleteI understand that there are all different kinds of people who learn different ways and create in different ways, however I believe that when you get to the level of creating a picture or video story it is vital to create a storyboard.
ReplyDeleteI think that the article by Oliver conveyed this quite well by saying you need a "SOUND PLAN" of what you want your creation to look like, sound like, what camera angles and dialogue/music you want to use to capture the mood wanting to be conveyed by your audience. I can see how creating even what may seem like the smallest of projects can be time consuming and frustrating at times because there really is so much pre-thought and storyboard building to do before the technical work start.
I agree with Liz S. The writing magazine article is much less technical than the Oliver article and would be a good example for students.
Could possibly be a great art lesson ... have two kids pair up one draw the story board and one come up with the digital story ... see if the visualzation match up in the end.. BubbleShare would be a great place to saveor create the album to save room space on the harddrives and email work to me.:) kel
ReplyDeleteGreat comments here! How did you feel about this after having to create your first storyboard? Many of you seemed apprehensive when drawing...It's ok to feel that way...just remember that that is how the kids are feeling too!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Saturday, folks!
