Storyboard Practice

Storyboard Practice 1: Watch the Frozen video clip and draw the first 12 shots and label their type (medium, close up, extreme wide, extreme close up). No stick figures. Additionally, draw arrows to indicate movement of characters and/or objects. Show the floor line (ie where the floor meets the wall) when appropriate. And indicate camera movement - optional, but it’s good practice.

Storyboard Practice 2: Watch the Up video clip and draw the first 12 shots and label their type (medium, close up, extreme wide, extreme close up). No stick figures. Additionally, draw arrows to indicate movement of characters and/or objects. Show the floor line (ie where the floor meets the wall) when appropriate. And indicate camera movement - optional, but it’s good practice.

First Day Rules

It’s A Class

Yearbook + Multimedia (aka Journalism) is a class that requires a lot from students. Y+M has a steep learning curve and students need to work independently while also coordinating with their team. The key to success is planning, scheduling, and being productive.

Assignment: Get the course outline signed.
