What is a storyboard?

A storyboard is a graphic organizer used to plan out scenes in a movie. They can have other uses as well (ex: planning a comic book, a commercial, or even an educational presentation). The purpose of a storyboard is to help YOU plan our project, so the style of the storyboard has to make sense for your group. More details can be found on the website Storyboard That. (We do not have a subscription to this site, however.)

What does a storyboard look like?

There are MANY templates and styles of storyboards! The most basic have a series of rectangular boxes to draw out your scenes, similar to a comic strip, with places to make notes underneath each box. For this project, you will need to graph your objects so that your transformations can map to coordinates. There are storyboard templates with gridded backgrounds, but those are not necessarily what you have to use.

Where are some examples?

There are great online templates of storyboards on Canva. We do have an educational subscription, so let Ms. Miller know if you need access to premium items.

There are also downloadable templates that you could put into OneNote. The ones linked here are just a few of the ones that seemed like they would work for this project.
