Storyboard

While creating my storyboard I had to create pictures in my mind of what I wanted the pages to look like before I formatted it and put things into the storyboard template. I envisioned exactly what I wanted my magazine to look like and made the template based off of my visual thinking which made it a little bit challenging. Besides having to envision the magazine in my head to format it like I wanted, I enjoyed getting to see my magazine coming together right in front of my eyes. Nothing has changed from my preliminary layout or concept chart. My ideas of my cover page changed a bit, I originally didn’t plan on doing more than one color, but I think the green looks really nice. Other than that, my concept and feature article is all the same, an island magazine with a feature article on St. Lucia.

In the article, Filmmaking across the curriculum: a beginner’s guide, the author informs the reader that products take time, rarely anything good comes out of something that is rushed and not well thought out. The author mentions key questions to think about when doing a film or magazine including, knowing who your audience is as well as your message. This can help when organizing and planning out your project because you’ll know what content is needed for that audience and you can put yourself in their shoes and think about what you might be looking for when looking at a magazine such as the one you are creating. In another article, Storyboard your way to success, the author states that, “Storyboards are classified into four principal levels: planning, idea, organization, and communication. Storyboarding is considered a perfect way to address complex issues requiring creative solutions and it allows a group to generate a lot of ideas. Its only major drawback is that it takes a lot of time.”
