StoryBoard
I followed the White Space is Not Your Enemy example for website layout with additional pages branching out from the home/main page and using grid paper. I had not watched the Storyboarding Basics video until after my storyboard was done, so this is done in pencil, with a lot of unseen eraser marks. I thought the use of pen was an excellent idea to move a creator forward rather than constantly fixing a draft. It also makes me happy to hear that people who can't draw make good storyboards to work with.
Concept Video in 60 Seconds
The video focuses on video production using the elements within the White Space is Not Your Enemy chapter on Storyboarding. I used the idea of "Lights, Camera, Action" to group the various topics for shot frames, camera angles, lighting and perspectives. (Golombisky & Hagen, 2010) Because I used a film burn at the beginning there is an attempt to keep a color unity of beiges, oranges, reds, and black throughout. It was difficult finding images that would show the various elements for camera and lighting styles. Also there was a very limited amount of video clips to work with. However, trying to find images and videos to show exactly what I wanted provided an opportunity to think a little deeper about the concepts learned from the readings.

Hi Brandi. Great job this week. I like the rough draft you choose for your weebly page and it looks like it will be easy to navigate. Your concept in 60 video is really cool. I enjoyed your choice of images and selecting different angles of focus through your cropping techniques. Really great shot of the electric bass! The string angle was perfect for what you were capturing. I also appreciated your wide variety of selections. Good work!
ReplyDeleteGood storyboard. Who cares if there were erase marks, it was just your first draft! I think the website looks very easy to navigate and I cannot wait to see the finished project. The way your broke down the categories was very organized. You have blogs, resources, 6th, 7th, 8th, etc. The grade-level breakdown will make the lives of the students much easier. Moving on to your concept video, WOW! I love the way you approached it. I did a reflective video on my vacation. It was nice to see it done a different way. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve and Erin for the compliments. I was going for ease in navigation with the website for my students and I’m glad that it shows. Since a multiple page website for school use is new to the students, I thought making the navigation as easy as possible would be one way to make this change more manageable for them. I’m glad you enjoyed the concept video, it did take me a long time to complete it. The pictures were not mine; I found through out this process that I preferred working with other people’s creations to get more ideas and inspiration from them.
