Planning a video and script writing
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can create a storyboard to plan scenes for a video.
Key learning points
- Storyboards are used to plan videos.
- A storyboard outlines the scenes and filiming techniques used in a video.
- It is useful to have a script for each scene of a video.
Keywords
Shot - a video recorded using a chosen filming technique or camera angle
Script - written words that will be performed on screen, stage or radio
Prop - an object used in a performance
Common misconception
A script is just used for what people will say on a video.
A script can be used to plan what people will say or what audio will be used. A script has enough detail to understand the range of audio that will be used.
Teacher tip
Revisit filming technique terms from Lesson 2 before pupils begin storyboarding, so they can confidently plan how to apply each one.
Equipment
There are a number of linked videos in this lesson for pupils to watch. There is also a template storyboard provided for pupils to use.
