Storyboarding

  • Plan ahead, but expect changes. Revision is a good thing
  • Sound and video can be separated
  • Film "b roll"
  • Watch local/national news & documentaries. Analyze their production techniques
  • Always think about how visuals, animation, narration, and sound will impact your thesis and narrative. What point are you trying to make?
