18. Your Assignment Creating a Storyboard PowerPoint Pg. 140 of your packet

19. Purpose of the Assignment To set the tone of the story without using words, but by instead using different cinematic techniques as described in the previous slides.

20. Example Summary of scene: A kid is running towards the forest, away from a bear that has entered his backyard. He runs into a unicorn that allows him to hop on his back. The unicorn flies away with the little boy on its back.

21. Storyboard (DRAFT version)

22. Your slides will be more detailed. You will answer the following two questions for each of your slides: 1.What is going on in the picture? 2.What cinematic technique(s) did you use, and how does this set the tone of the slide? Write these on your packet!

23. In the opening scene of the selection, we are introduced to the little boy. He is being chased by a bear. We may assume that the bear is “out to get him” since the boy is running away from the bear – not towards him. For the first slide, BOTTOM LIGHTING is being used. Using the bottom lighting shows the dangerous side or evilness of the bear. This is effective because it sets the tone for the slide – this is the scary bear chasing the little boy! The LONG SHOT of the picture informs us that the bear is not very close to the boy; this allows us to think the chase will be longer.

24. SPLIT UP THE SLIDES! 1. Start by choosing one of the three short stories and a scene that you would like to work with. 2. In your groups, divide the 20 slides equally amongst your members (A group of four will have 5 slides per person). 3. Next, decide who will create slides for the beginning of the story, the middle (Rising action, climax and falling action), and the end (Conclusion). 4. Begin to sketch out some ideas – what pictures and cinematic techniques will you look for when we are in the computer lab?
