Instructions for Ideation and Storyboarding
1. Work together to develop a single script idea or consider working individually for several
minutes and then comparing ideas.
Be adventurous and creative in your ideation. This lesson is preparation for

an individual project that you will complete later. If you are not interested in
your film, it will be hard to make others interested in your message. You may
use the listed prompts or explore an idea of your own.
2. When deciding on a script idea, consider the time, location, lighting, and prop resources
necessary to complete your production filming in a limited period of time and with
autumn lighting conditions, etc.
3. Develop your script: Your script may not include words, but it needs to document the
progression of your video and support its content.
As needed:
Note monologue or dialogue that will be spoken
Note emotional reaction
Note mood
Note motivation
Begin to think about the type of shots that will enhance your video
You may want to take this time to decide who the actors will be in your video if any.
It may also be helpful for some groups to determine who will run the camera and who will
direct the action if these roles will be filled primarily by a single person.
Everyone needs to have a voice and to be heard during your pre-production and production
work. This is largely about improvisation, cooperation, and experimentation.
4. Once you have sufficiently developed your script, begin work on your storyboard.
Read the vocabulary list below. You are not responsible for these terms at this time, but they may
help you develop ideas and to note shots and actions you wish to use while filming.
o The storyboard is a resource for you; it can be as detailed or as simple as you feel
is sufficient.
o Storyboards are typically created in a series of frames or boxes like a large comic
strip
o Leave room below and/or around each panel so that you may take notes regarding
shots, spoken parts, lighting, locations, and other information that will make your
shots more organized and useful
o It is generally better to take multiple shots and shots from various angles while
shooting a single scene. Lighting conditions, clothing, and environment changes.
It is easier to have too many options that you do not use than to try to recreate the
conditions for addition shots later.
You may take this time to scout locations, check lighting, and locate props
5. Collect and check out your video camera and tripods
o Make sure that your camera is fully charge

o Ensure that you know how it is charge
o Make sure that you know how to operate your camera before you begin or leave
o It may be helpful to make sure that no old footage is on your camera before
beginning
You will have some time to shoot film during the next class period. However,
editing takes time when done correctly. Not all shots and locations will be
available to you during the evening at school. Consider shooting some of your
film prior to the evening class.
