3.1. Movie Trailer Storyboard

Movie Trailer 

Storyboards are the blueprints of a digital story. A storyboard consists of drawings and notes in frames. Each frame represents a scene in the video story.  Some storyboards are basic, only consisting of empty frames. Other storyboards require more details such as having learners outline the music, characters, dialogue, sounds, narration, transitions, script, lighting, special effects, and scenery.

For this task, you will complete a storyboard for a short film you hope to make.

Imagine that you are pitching a movie idea to a director. For this activity, your tutor will act as the director. Your movie can be about anything and in any genre- a stopmotion movie, a horror flick, an animated movie and so forth.

Here you can see an example made by a student of last call of this course.
