Step 2: Outline Your Scenes

• Divide your story into 6-10 key scenes.
• For each scene, write a brief description of what happens.

Step 3: Plan Camera Angles and Movement

• For each scene, decide on the camera angles you will use:
• Will you use close-ups, medium shots, or wide shots?
• Describe how the camera will move (static, pan, tilt).

Step 4: Select Your Shots

• List the specific shots you want to include in each scene:
• What visuals are important?
• What will the audience see?

Step 5: Plan for Editing and Transitions

• Think about how you will move from one scene to the next:
• Will you use cuts, fades, or dissolves?
• Write down the type of transition for each scene.

Step 6: Add Text or Titles

• Decide if you need any text or titles in your clip:
• What will the text say?
• Where will it appear in your scenes?

Step 7: Write Dialogue

• If your video includes dialogue, write down what your characters will say:
• Keep it short and relevant to your story.

Step 8: Plan Actor Movement

• Describe how actors will move within each scene:
• Will they walk, run, or stay still?
• Write specific directions for their movements.

Step 9: Choose Filters and Effects

• Think about any filters or effects you want to use:
• How will these enhance your story?
• Write down your choices for each scene.

Step 10: Assemble Your Storyboard

• Draw or use images to represent each scene.
• Include notes about camera angles, dialogue, and effects next to each scene.

Submission:
