WRITING A SCRIPT FOR YOUR PSA

STORY TREATMENT Research if needed. Very brief descriptions of what will happen in your PSA. You must create a well thought out Story Treatment in order to create a storyboard.

STORYBOARDING YOUR PSA

STORYBOARDING Remember that storyboarding isn't the way to write a movie. It's the way to visualize how actors, props, backgrounds & camera angles will fit together in any particular scene or sequence of shots. It's the visualization of your script. In other words, what you need before you get started is your script. No script, no storyboard.
