4th Grade, Nimmons, 12-15 – Video 2

THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS THE EXPECTATIONS FOR THE DAY! (It's for a different class but covers the same content.)

  1. Objective:
    1. Students will create storyboards to prepare for recording and editing video.
  2. Announcements:
    1. No late work for this Quarter will be accepted after Monday, January 12th!
      1. This deadline is 2 weeks before the end of the Quarter and is far more lenient than PGCPS policy.
      2. Work owed from unexcused absences will still not be accepted.
      3. Between January 12th and the last day of the Quarter, PGCPS policy will be followed.
  3. Previous Lessons: Audio 1, Audio 2, Audio 3, Field Trip Storyboard, Audio 4, Audio 5, Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, Video 4, Video 5, Video 6
  4. Today's Lesson: Video 2: Cut Conversation Storyboard
    1. Grading Rubric:
      4 Pts Storyboard dialogue has very few spelling and/or grammatical errors and is in the boxes BELOW the drawings.
      3 Pts Story has one character tell a joke to another character, and shows the other character's reaction.
      3 Pts Storyboard has slight differences in characters and camera angles to emphasize that they are two characters intended to be played by the same person.
    2. Today, Mr. Smith is going to show you how to make a paper storyboard. There are lots of templates that can be used (we've even used Google Slides), but the simplest solution is to just fold a sheet of paper a few times.

    3. Note in the animated gif above that Mr. Smith is drawing stick figures.
      1. This is fine (and expected), so long as their position in frame is correct.
      2. If we aren't going to record your characters yelling from down the hall, we likely won't see them from the waist down.
      3. We SHOULD see if they're on the left or right side of the screen, which way they're facing, and be able to tell basic body posture (arm movements, etc.).
    4. This assignment has been added to Canvas, but this is primarily for students completing this work remotely who need to upload a photo of their storyboard. This is a paper assignment.
  • This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. Please stay on task to complete this work by the end of class!
