The purpose of a storyboard is to organize your content, prior to recording a video or animation. Storyboarding synchronizes your visuals with what you want to say about them; such as your images, videos, animated bullets, etc.

For this activity, you will create a storyboard for your video or animation, using your choice of methods for storyboarding – or a combination of methods.

1. Watch Three Simple Storyboarding Templates to Organize Your Content Creation Projects, which demonstrates three (3) methods for storyboarding.
   • Mind Map (MindMeister or other software)
   • PowerPoint
   • Word (table)
2. Choose which method, or combination of methods, you want to use for this video or animation project.
3. Create your Storyboard. [See tips below.]
4. When you are finished, submit your file and/or link into the Blackboard assignment link for Learning Activity #1 below.
   • Submit a file by Attach File.
   • Submit a link in Write Submission area. [You might have a link for a mind map, or e.g. if you used a Google Doc or Slides.]
   • If you used a combination of storyboarding options, combine them into one file or link. [Examples: Word document with mind map link inserted, PPT with  mind map link inserted, mind map link that includes a link to a Google Doc or Slides, Google Doc with mind map link and/or Google Slides link, etc.]

TIPS

• PowerPoint slides may be turned into images, which may be imported into your video. Google Slides presentation Saving PowerPoint Slides as Images shows you how. [steps also shown in Learning Activity #2, regarding properly formatting references]
  • This could also be useful for transition slides between videos, adding text to a video, still images turned into a video, etc.
• If you use PowerPoint for all or part of your storyboard, you may save your PowerPoint as a handout. Google PDF PPT to Word Handout shows you how.
  • This could be useful for a script.
  • Because the handout is in a table format, rows could be copied from the handout and inserted into a storyboard table created in a Word document.

My PowerPoint Storyboard

My Example: WeVideo

1. Start off by watching the examples below. This should give you an idea of the different options you have for your video. If you are stuck on a topic then please email me and we can brainstorm together.
2. Read Why Animated Videos Grab Attention.
3. Preview the Video/Animation Scoring Guide to preview the requirements for this project. Important: your final video will not be accepted if you do not cite the media that you use in your video.
4. You can really use any video editing or animation software that you desire. However, if you are unfamiliar with video or animation production then I have a few options for you. These options are nice because everything saves automatically, it is Mac and Windows compatible, and you can start your project on one computer and then go to another computer and pick up right where you left off. See the VIDEO/ANIMATION EDITING RESOURCES folder below for specific instructions for how to use these options.
   • Video editing: WeVideo
   • Animation creator: PowToons [Powtoon Codes] – How to use the coupon code is in the resources folder below.
     Note: even if you decide not to use PowToons, I recommend you sign up for an account using the code.
5. Read Creating Properly formatted References in Video that will show you an option for citing media in a video or animation.
6. Start your project.
7. When you are finished, you will submit a LINK to your video or animation into Blackboard for grading.
8. Add the video or animation to a page of your website.

Click here to view the different options that you can use for your video or animation project. You are welcome to use a different option if it meets the requirements for this project.

• Submit a file by Attach File.
• Submit a link in Write Submission area. [You might have a link for a mind map, or e.g. if you used a Google Doc or Slides.]
• If you used a combination of storyboarding options, combine them into one file or link. [Examples: Word document with mind map link inserted, PPT with  mind map link inserted, mind map link that includes a link to a Google Doc or Slides, Google Doc with mind map link and/or Google Slides link, etc.]

After submitting your Video or Animation project in Blackboard, be sure to add the video or animation to a page on your website.
