Thread:An example Multimedia Storyboard (2)

Hi Peter,

Click! I now see where the storyboard guidelines fit. For me, I have had 2 different experiences with the use of storyboarding. The first was in the production of films, the 2nd was for instructional designs. Personally, I prefer the film production process for its relative simplicity. It involves 3 stages of preparation - the treatment, then the script and finally the storyboard. When the storyboard happens, it is simply a comic strip with a frame of descriptive text. Anything needing more complicated description is written up in the script and treatment.

I think what you have here is a combination of the instructional designer and film maker storyboard. The cell that you have for icons.. I think it should be more dominant, and should be used to illustrate the story more (rather than iconise it). To demonstrate this, I think it would be a matter of drawing the story frame and replacing the icon with the scan of the drawing.
