For this week's assignment, For this week's hands-on assignment, you should create a storyboard on the on a test mini-project based on any of the video capture options we discussed in Class Four, such as capturing video from VHS tapes, television programs being broadcast or from the web, or any other related topic in which you have an interest.
The project you design for this assignment may or may not be related to the project topic you end up using for the final semester video project. The storyboard does not need to be complete, but should contain enough information to convey the major themes that would be explored if the project were created.
Finally, post a comment in which you discuss the project you selected and your experience creating the storyboard. (If you placed a copy of your storyboard online, please include the URL in your posting).

I chose to do a storyboard on the life of Shirley Temple. The storyboard was actually very difficult for me to do and I struggled with it. I have never been one to write "rough drafts" of something. I have always written my papers and then made my "thinking map, rough draft, etc." afterwards if I had to turn something of this nature in to the teacher. In my storyboard I stated that I would first go over her life as a young child, adolescent, and then adult outside of film (but will include the effects of being a child star). I will then cover some of her films and popularity as a child star followed by her accomplishments. Originally I wanted to cover the life of Walter Disney but decided that I would not be able to use enough of the things we are learning about as most of the video would come from YouTube that pertained to him. I could have tied in creating video clips from VHS and DVD by using some of his movies (we own most of them) but felt that I would probably have better resources for Temple after looking on YouTube and only finding a few videos that are about or include Walter (and not just Disney the company).
For Assignment 4 I created a storyboard for my upcoming final project on educational uses of digital craft cutters. It outlines how we can implement digital craft cutters to encourage students to create digital designs on computers, use digital cutters to cut them, and then construct their finished product (such as pop-up cards or 3D models). Tangible hands-on activities like these can enhance learning and knowledge.
I enjoy going through the storyboard process, as it forces me to really think through the way I want to present my information and allows me to organize it in a more meaningful way. I'm sure that this is the first draft of many, but it helps me a great deal none the less.
Hi, Y’all. In just about every art appreciation or art history class I show Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams. The film has seven distinct stories—chapters—taken from the director’s own life and I don’t always show all of them. The first two are my favorites. Chapter two is cinemagraphically delicious—real eye candy—and is also a peek into traditional Japanese culture that an art class can use and appreciate. The peach blossom symbolism, the Heian period costuming, the traditional family holiday trappings, bamboo, and other topics can easily be lifted from the movie for further study by students. It would be good to have an introduction to chapter two, its story and iconography, and a bit of information on the director to introduce the film all in a neat package when I next show it. I thought I’d start with chapter two and if it’s a good project do the same for the other chapters.
I tried to keep the storyboard short, and the more I think about it the more I change it. It can be re-arranged easy because it’s a Word document. I don’t know how to time things—need to write a narrator’s script so I can get an idea of how long it takes to say things. I read in the Digital Storytelling Cookbook that less speech is often best.
I developed a storyboard for a presentation I have had in mind for some time. The presentation is called 'Views From Space' and the goal is to show many of the best scenes from space flight while at the same time telling something of history, geography and science and giving people a feel for what space flight feels like. I have actually done a powerpoint presentation along these lines for many years, but using only still images. For some time I have had the idea of progressing to videos, perhaps some with narration by some of the astronauts. I have much of the basis for the script, which is shown, but still need to find a lot of the video and any of the voice over by others like astronauts. The storyboard can be found here:

My storyboard involved suggesting to students a show on NOVA. My suggestions in class would be recorded and become part of my final digital story (in case some students forgot that I mentioned it). The show itself would also be on the digital video for those who decide not to watch it. At the end of the video, there will be a short class discussion regarding the video and include some ideas for the students to think about.
The articles for this week were pretty interesting. I wonder what the founder of YouTube thinks about what it has become; if he foresaw it being as popular as it is. The article about storyboards helped me to understand their value.
Perhaps I interpreted this assignment incorrectly.I thought we were to take an existing
educational video that was on a videotape and convert it into a digital format.Then, I thought we were to create an initial story
board that could be used for our semester project. It just so happens, that I found a videotape that is similar to my planned
semester project. Here is the digital
version of that tape.
I created a storyboard about Visual Culture Art Education. I basically wanted to introduce the concept of VCAE and illustrate why the arts and especially visual culture are important and yet have been ignored in K-12 classes. I plan to use a clip from the documentary Maxed Out. I would also like to use still photos of kids, but I need to know more about whether or not it's okay to use photos of students and how I could obtain photos that are acceptable.
This story board is for my semester project.It outlines building your own personal
computer. In the video, I discuss what parts to purchase,where to go to purchase them and how to assemble them. You can find the link to this page here.
I got some of my inspiration from youtube, some of it came from the video that I posted and some from web pages that I read. At this time, I'm thinking about shooting the video portions with a cell phone camera. I'm trying for a closeup, informal look to the video.
The storyboard I am working on is an introduction to viewing graphic novels as a serious (legitimate) reading format in the classroom.
I am trying to start off with a short history of graphic novels, followed by sections on different studies on the effective use of graphic novels in the classroom, the variety of genres in the graphic novel format, and graphic novels in popular culture.
I would also like to include video clips from graphic novels that have been adapted to movies.
