Storyboard and other pre-production planning

Now that you have a rough plan for your video, the next steps are as follows:

1. Storyboard - take a look HERE to see what should be in a typical storyboard. I have left copies of a storyboard template for you to use. You can begin planning each shot and the dialogue/narration/text/sound that would accompany that shot. As well as a written description of any visual fx and the type of shot. I've also left a sample storyboard from a student video.

2. Talent - decide who your "actors" will be and the roles they will play. Make that list and also make sure they are available when you need them.

3. Schedule - When can you shoot? During class, lunchtime, after school. Prepare ahead of time so you know you have everything you need including any props or costumes.

4. Locations - Find appropriate locations for your shoot. For each shot. Write this down. You will end up creating a shot list that will allow your shooting schedule to be more efficient because you can shoot everything you need in a specific location.

5. Equipment/prop list - Make a list of all equipment you will need and any props you will need.

Type up all of these with a cover page and be ready to submit this at the end of the class on Friday. You can divide up these tasks to make it more efficient.

Good luck.
