Storyboarding the How-to Video

CLICK HERE to access and make a copy of the storyboard/script template and use it to map out how you will produce your video. Keep in mind the following elements as you storyboard and create the script:
  • The title (headline) and introduction
  • Step by step instructions (NOTE: Each instruction will probably be a different video shot)
  • A list of materials and/or supplies (if applicable)
  • Cautions or warnings (and/or additional hints or tips)
  • Conclusion
  • Credits and cite any sources (if any were used)
CLICK HERE to also make a copy of the video shot handout that you can use as a reference when completing your storyboard/script. 
Most of the video shots you will use will probably be medium shots at eye level, but consider when you will need closeups or extreme closeups as well as different angles (high and low).

RUBRIC

Below is the rubric that will be used for peer assessment as well as final evaluation. It is quite similar to the rubric used for the how-to written articles. 
  • The headline and introduction is effective in catching your attention and encouraging you to view more. 
  • The instructions are clear and easy to understand. The video provides clear voiceover and text to make it easier for the viewer to follow along.
  • The camera shots/transitions are well executed and show evidence of good planning and editing.
  • Any other necessary elements are also included, such as hints, tips, cautions, warnings and sources. 
  • The storyboard/script includes clear direction for each camera shot and there is evidence of solid planning and effort.
