Week 7: Muddy - Mapping Out Your Story

You can't overestimate the need to plan and prepare. In most of the mistakes I've made, there has been this common theme of inadequate planning beforehand. You really can't over-prepare in business!
Chris Corrigan

Creating a storyboard is an excellent way to prepare for a presentation. It allows one to develop a well thought out plan that clearly communicates and illustrates the intended message. A storyboard also provides the opportunity to make changes to the script or animations before actually creating the final product. It is an effective way to prepare.

I have listed five steps to creating a storyboard summarized from the Purdue University website (http://www.digitalparlor.org/courses/clark1/storyboarding):


1.Find or create a storyboard template

2.Each frame should represent a unique page or step in a sequence

3.In each frame, identify your content. Use shorthand to describe the content (including images and audio) that you want to include and approximately where it should be placed, as in the example below.

4.Add notes to each frame to help you present and remember information

5.Upon completion of the rough draft of your storyboard be sure that the order is accurate and makes sense
