00:13 → 00:15

I got a call about 6 a.m.

00:15 → 00:20

Mrs. Diedrickson was looking for a way to make better classroom movies.

00:21 → 00:27

♫ ♫

00:27 → 00:33

Her students had been turning out the equivalent of glorified Powerpoints.

00:33 → 00:37

Yeah, her students were engaged, but she knew she had been doing little to teach them

00:37 → 00:42

to think critically and analyze media let alone become ... storytellers.

00:43 → 00:48

They were ignoring over 100 years of movie-making history and cinematic language.

00:48 → 00:52

But who was I to judge. I was just a film school dropout

00:52 → 00:56

and a 2nd grade teacher from a one-computer classroom.

00:56 → 01:00

Maybe I could just show Mrs. Diedrickson a few tips on things like

01:00 → 01:05

storyboarding, shot selection and composition, ... even lighting and sound.

01:05 → 01:10

I had to show her that video is a visual medium ... but enough about me.

01:16 → 01:20

01:20 → 01:24

You need to think in terms of, "What is the audience going to see?"

01:24 → 01:27

How are you going to SHOW information visually

01:27 → 01:30

to an audience so that they understand your story.

01:30 → 01:31

[background] Red Leader this is Gold Leader

01:31 → 01:32

I'm going in to attack.

01:32 → 01:34

Oh, no, I'm going to hit ...

01:34 → 01:36

I've been hit, oh no!

01:36 → 01:37

[C-R-A-S-H!]

01:38 → 01:42

When you're storyboarding, you probably use a form like this ...

01:42 → 01:45

that already has the boxes on it for you.

01:45 → 01:47

[crumpled paper]

01:47 → 01:50

Better ... for you to imagine

01:50 → 01:53

the scene that you're going to shoot

01:53 → 01:56

and THEN decide where you're going to put the frame

01:56 → 02:01

Let's take a scene where a girl is going to visit a detective's office

02:01 → 02:02

and she's knocking on the door
