Storyboard for Digital Storytelling

1. What is you topic?

Appreciation for not only active duty military personal, but also for their
families.
2. Who is the audience for your story?
America
Frame/Event Description
Here you describe:

what will appear on the screen

(picture, clip, graphic or other kind
of visual)
what listeners will hear (music,
narrative, sounds)
your directors comments about
what you are trying to achieve and
communicate

Media List
Here you list the specifics of every
piece of media you will need; this
will help you gather materials before
beginning story construction; it also
serves as a works cited list for
copyright purposes

Music, songs, sounds, voice

recordings
Pictures, graphics, diagrams
Video clip
Text, titles

Narration: (Hereyouwriteoutthenarrative.)

Notes:
1. Write about a sentence or two for narration cell (enough to record about
20 seconds at a time. In my experience, that is the most comfortable
length for recording each voice over clip).
2. If you are producing 2-minute video, you should have at least 6 frames. If
your video is 3-minute long, you should have at least 9 frames.
3. If you work as a group of 2, your frames should be doubled.
4. Rule of Thumb:

20 seconds = 1 frame

1 minute = 3 frames

2 minutes = 6 frames

3 minutes = 9 frames

5. In your final video, limit it between 2 3 minutes.

6. More than 50% of your final project should come from your own video
footage. The remaining percent (less than 50%) can be still images or
videos from YouTube or any other resources.

Giving up a social life is just a minimal sacrifice that many make when they
are military family members. The anxiety that family members face because
they dont know whats happening to their loved one miles and miles away is
a tremendous burden to bare.
