One of the bigger battles I face in teaching video production to high school students is getting them to see the value of storyboarding. As I have taught you all, storyboarding is the process of pre-planning your shots , angles, camera moves, etc. BEFORE doing any filming. This allows you to make better use of your filming time and to avoid trouble spots before they happen. I know most of you don’t believe me, though many of you have admitted to me after a time that storyboarding actually has been helpful.
So I came across this video and a VideoMaker article and thought maybe they would help you see in a more tangible way the benefits of good storyboarding; not that lazy 5 minute wannabe storyboard you all tend to hand into me. 😉
So take a look and a read and leave a comment afterwards sharing your thoughts. Maybe this will inspire you to take storyboarding a bit more seriously……
Also, be sure to check out this guy’s other videos; some very interesting stuff there including a teaser trailer that peaked my interest.
