Storyboarding Defintion!

Before I start doing my trailer I have to come up with a storyboard, this is because it would help set the camera angles I want to use and also help outline how my trailer will play out. To do so I looked at the definition of storyboarding, reasons for storyboarding and the layout of a storyboard.
Storyboarding:
- Are visual organisers, typically a series of illustrations displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualising a video, web-based training, or interactive media sequence.
- Came from Walt Disney in the 1930's, by the late 1930's every major studio was using storyboards.
- Media's use storyboards for:

• Film
• Television
• Animation
• Fiction
• Business
• Interactive media - Web Development, Software Design, Instructional Design and Technology

"There is no right or wrong way to storyboard, developers and instructional designers use a variety of different templates and methods." - Nicole Legault

Reasons for Storyboards:

• Helps a subject matter expert (SME) fill in their expert content - Designer can then rearrange the content into an effective sequence.
• Can be given to a developer who will use it as a blueprint to develop the final product.
• Assists instructional designer in sequencing the instruction

Possible Elements:

• Navigation - GUI (Graphic User Interface), - Includes the buttons needed to navigate the program.
• Course Contents - Must have a frame with a sample of the table of contents, outline and map.
• Quizzes/Testing
• Audio Scripting
• Learning Objectives
• Module Name

Design Guidelines:

• Make sure that the media used supports the learning objectives
• Cognitive load theory - For interactive media, try to minimise text and images occurring at the same time

- Make sure that quizzes and testing are aligned with learning objectives

• Ensure that they will provide valid evidence of understanding

Tool to use:

• Microsoft Word - Widely available and understand software, - Not easy to rearrange content
• Power Point - The most popular, - Widely known and understand, - Widely available, - Slide sorter view makes it easy to rearrange frames
