2. Design Your Storyboard! This may be done on paper, but it is best created in a tool such as PowerPoint Here is the storyboard for my very short advert

3. SALE Stars travel across the screen diagonally from top to bottom SALE 4 Secs

4. NOW ON Text slides in from the top and bottom of the screen to meet in the middle 5 Secs

5. Your Storyboard gives you… An idea of how your animation will look An idea of how the animation will flow The number of scenes for your animation What symbols are required

6. Deciding on Symbols and Scenes There are three types of symbols in Flash 1. Movie clips - Moving symbols 2. Graphics - Non moving symbols 3. Buttons - Used to create interactive content within your animations

7. The Symbols we want to make are… The star The word “NOW” The word “ON”

8. Scenes We also know that there will be two scenes from our storyboard
