target audience?

STARTER

Watch this video.

What do you think? What could improve it?

TASK ONE Complete your storyboard

Add text to the green boxes to accurately describe what is going to happen during the shot

Ensure that your images are in a logical order Complete the boxes at the top, briefly describe your

audience, purpose, the music you will use and how long (duration) your video is going to last – use your home-learning scripts to help you

When you have completed your storyboard, create a new folder in your ICT folder called “Images” – copy and paste all the image files you are going to use – you may have done this already

GOOD DESCRIPTIONS Describe: What the picture shows Time: How long it lasts Effect: Any special effects? Zooming in, adding

colours? Transition: How it changes from one picture to

the next!

For Example:  

Outside Sports Hall5 SecsZoom out from top of SHFade

the viewer’s perception of the image? Find out: How do you add text? Find out: How do you move images in the

timeline? Discover: What do you need to do to preview

your video? Discover: What do you need to do to add music? Eureka moment: How do you save the file to

play in Windows Media Player?
