April 15 Day in the Life Video

REVIEW CRITERIA

Day in the Life Video: You are to video and edit a day in your life and set it to music. Likely you will need to shoot on more than one day and make it look like it was all in one day.

Keep your shots short, 3-5 sec.( maximum 10 sec) and make sure they are sequenced properly. The video should be no less than 1min in length and no more than 2 min in length. Make sure your shots are in focus, shot from various angles, and well composed. You should be choosing a song to put with your day in the life video. Do not forget you are trying to tell a story of your day.

Do not go any longer than 10 sec per shot unless you are doing a time lapse or a sped up shot. Keep your transitions simple. Do not walk with the camera and move it around in different directions, it usually does not look good. If you are panning with the camera, do it very slow. You will get 5 marks for  brainstorming, 10 marks for rough story board and 35 marks for the final video. It will be due and presented in class on:

What is a storyboard?

A storyboard comprises numerous thumbnail images which outline the flow of your video. Each picture has some explanatory notes to help a reader make sense of the storyboard. 

While scripts are text-based, storyboards are visual representations of your video. Although it takes time to create one, the benefits are numerous.
They simplify the planning of your video.
You can find a clear vision of the video.
You'll have a more relaxed time editing the end product.
You reduce the chances of making mistakes.

Why do you need a storyboard?

If you’re new to creating videos and films, you might wonder why you need to know how to make a storyboard. If you have a script and a camera, why can’t you just jump into shooting the footage you need for your video? Almost all experienced video makers use storyboards. Let’s walk through just a few of the top reasons you should always create a storyboard before you start making a video.

Storyboards help you convey your vision

Whether you’re proposing your idea for a video to a group of investors or you just need to show your creative team what you want to do with your opening shot, a storyboard is a huge help! If you have a clear visual representation of your vision for your video, you can save a lot of time and frustration.
