Storyboard

Today’s media class was used to storyboard. The point of our storyboard is to know what we will film before we go out to the field. When going out the to the field, all we take is our storyboard paper and our camera. A storyboard is used for everything you watch, whether that’s commercials, a music video, a movie, or more. Without a storyboard, when it’s finally time to film, it would be hard to go out without some sort of previous direction. In order to prepare our story board, we watched how the Toy Story storyboard was made. We also drew a previous storyboard in order to practice and make our commercial storyboard perfect. When drawing a story board, you are not supposed to write a script. The storyboard is used just to show how you are filming using camera angles and movements. Our story board is going to be made up of six different scenes each equaling up to 30 seconds all together.
Our first scene is going to be a girl running on a track. This scene will be a tilt from her shoes all the way up to her face. This will be shot from a low angle to show her power and the intensity of the scene. The next scene is a boy getting ready to throw a football. This scene will also be a long shot to show that to throw a football you have to have your full body into it. The next scene of the commercial will be a boy stretching, he’s about to do push-ups. This will be a medium shot. It will show from his torso up. His arms will be stretching across one another. These three scenes will be intense and impactful. The three actors will be preparing to do their activity and hope on winning the competition they’re in.
The next scene of the commercial will be a split screen. The split screen will be eye level and a medium close up. The screen will be split in three different parts. One will have a girl drinking Gatorade, the next will have a boy eating a chewable, and the last one will have a boy eating an energy bar. These are three popular products from the Gatorade company. Eating and drinking these products will give the athletes power and preparation for their competition. The next scene is also a split screen and it will be a long shot. The first box in the split screen will show a girl running and the other two will be black screens. Then the second screen will pop up of a boy throwing a football while the girl is also running. The third screen will pop up and you will see the girl running, the boy throwing a football, and the other boy doing push-ups. The last scene of our commercial will be a title screen that will read “Gatorade.” Our storyboard and commercial will show that the products consumed gave power to the athletes. With this power, they were able to win and complete their competitions.
