A project for this term is to create and develop a **__ world’s best __**Storyboard for a film competition. The themes of choice are  **Communication ** or ** The Environment ** Click on the above link to view the finalists for 2010. Our film needs to be of this standard. Spend a lot of time on your planning for the storyboard to ensure you are selected to create your storyboard. Only the best storyboard artists will be able to create their film.

1. **Watch the 2010 winning creations**. 2. **Decide on your theme.** 3**. Write a synopsis of the plot (narrative) of the film**. 4. **Break up the plot into Moments and Scenes, then Shots**. It is recommended that you break up the plot into a thumb nail grid of 8-10 key scenes. Refer to storyboard sheet supplied. 5. **Pencil in the scenes and shots** This process is best done with 'stick' figures and shorthand shot descriptions. E.g. mid shot of a boy running left to right across a busy road, with the theme song of Rocky playing (eye of the Tiger). 6. **Analyse** Take a close look at your storyboard. Look for missing scenes, soundtrack and**/**or various other camera angles which will enhance the detail of your draft story board. Use this [|link] to help your complete your project. 7. **Flesh out the Draft** Use drawings, Clip art or digital photos to add more detail to the shot descriptions. 8. **Analyse** This time, because you have clearer images, you have the ability to look for consistencies in the narrative development. In other words does your story make sense in the storyboard? 9. **Congratulations** your hard work has paid off and you have a world winning storyboard for a movie everyone will want to see.
