Suggested Storyboard
Opening Graphics
Some sort of video background generator with:
- logo if available
- product title/name
- subtitle
Rather than the usually clumsy group introduction, let’s use name plates (AKA lower thirds) on screen for your names, title, etc. as you speak. The second video below
demonstrates this. It will let us move more fluidly and quickly through the video.
Suggest/Demonstrate Need
On Screen Talking – Write Script:
Create the situation and vibe that demonstrates the need
of the product.
- The Shelfie video below does this well
with the shots of cyclists and them trying to store their
bikes.

be improved with you product. Show the frustration or dilemma
they face.

The Plan and Your Milestones
For sake of time we will be creating these videos based on a template
that the eLearning Video Team will fill in with your your talking and
any images or videos (B-Roll) that add to the description of what you
are talking about or doing.
eLearning Video Team will be available on April 23 to shoot your
on screen talking, product close-ups and any staged “working on the
project shots”.
The eLearning Team Needs the Following From You:
Set up a Box.com shared folder with tubbs@illinois.edu and jdarby3@illinois.edu,
make us the co-owner of folder to share the items below:
- Roster of all projects in a Word doc. (February 24)
- team members names
- title of their role in the project
- year, major (for rolling credits at the end)
- Weekly pix or videos (February 24). Each week post at least five photos and 5 videos (short – as in 15 seconds, unproduced clips) to your Box.com folder
- the process – your team working
- your product getting printed
- prototype pix
> Your phone works just fine for these shots.
> Hold it steady or use a tripod, have decent light, don’t worry about audio for non-speaking video. The Library Media Commons has items for check out to help with this.)
- Script (April 20)
- Fill in the “On Screen Talking” sections above
- I’d suggest a hand-in of the assignment for review for Prof. Rindfleisch prior to shoot.
- Bring to shooting day (week of April 25)
- rough models
- the finished product
- SCRIPT!!!
