Video Storytelling
Video storytelling is an effective tool used to tell a story of information through a narrative, informative, and/or historical point of wiew. This method like digital storytelling can also be used by incorporating may different shots and techniques to make the whole experience for the students and teacher more effective. For people who do not know much at all about the correct way or "play by the rules way" of taking pictures or filming a video, this assignment has been very informative. The video ideas that ran through my mind can encompass so many different types of subjects throughout education; including history, writing, science, and finally math. This activity plan applies to all students who focus on every subject which is great because not all students like history or math. The storyboard is good because it is historical and informative all in one. It follows until the end in many ways. The shots are meant to provide a great sense of background but yet not to distracting, quick in transition without making the whole story feel like a race, and the information spoken is meant to get the point across without being a lecture.

Great Project haha considering I am your co-producer in the movie :)
ReplyDeleteFollowing the rule of thirds was particularly difficult for this task due to the moving hurricane, but I think especially with keeping the talk show host to the left thirds line we did pretty well. The storyboard covers each of the 7 elements of a digital story, some parts covering more than one at a time, such as the soundtrack ( Rock you like a Hurricane) and creating a voice for hurricane Katrina with the poster board. I think for a third- fourth grade class this video is a fun way to teach our TEKS and get the kids interested in learning. It is definitely more fun than writing an research paper!
