Storyboard the 3rd Act (The End ) - You brainstormed a documentary idea before spring break. You then created a 3 act plan to tell your story. Now is the time to start your storyboard and planning the visual story of your documentary. How will your shot selections tell the story? Close ups of real life participants? Reenactments? Historical images of the situation? Dramatic music? Special effects? Do we see the narrator?

You can create your own storyboard template, use one previously provided or that you download, use Canva and the storyboard tools there. The choice is yours. Remember the storyboard focuses on the visual representation, camera angles and shot selection, sound, time, and special effects. Plan your storyboard as if you are giving it to someone else to make your video for you. It should be detailed! Due by the end of class.

From the previous lesson:

Plan three acts, more commonly known as a beginning, middle and end to our story. This is the point of your documentary. Why are you telling the story and why would viewers be interested? A documentary should persuade, surprise, question, and/or challenge the audience. Try to show why an audience should feel a certain way about the people and things you're filming.

The 3rd Act - The end, resolution or conclusion - shows the growth or change of the character(s) due to the journey or possible solutions or more questions on the topic. Maybe even future problems or dangers or what it would look like if the problem is solved.
