Published on

Please forgive the brevity of this lesson as I recover from carpal tunnel. This video was made for a different class but the content remains the same.

  1. Objective:
    1. Students will storyboard a magic trick to prepare for a video editing lesson.
  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, Audio 4, Audio 5, Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, Video 4, Video 5, Video 6
  4. Today's Lesson: Video 2: Magic Trick 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 Storyboard has the magician complete a single "trick" where an object appears, disappears, or turns into another object.
      3 Pts Storyboard has the same setting and actor in each panel.
    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.
      storyboard how-to
    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!
