A storyboard is a sketch of how to organize your presentation and a list of its contents.

A storyboard helps you:

• Define the parameters of what will be on your one-minute using available resources and time
• Organize and focus a coherent presentation
• Figure out what medium to use for each part of the story - will you do a collage or single pictures? Will they fade or move in from the side and etc?

How to Do a Rough Storyboard

Your presentation will be some combination of video, text, still photos, audio, graphics and interactivity presented in a nonlinear format in which the information in each medium is complementary, not redundant.

 So your storyboard should be put together with all those elements in mind.

The first thing to tackle is the part about the story being nonlinear.

1. Divide the story into its logical, nonlinear parts, such as:

• a lead such as a heading essentially addressing why this section is important
• profiles of the main person or people in the story
• the event or situation
• any process or how something works
• the history of the event or situation
• other related issues raised by the page/image

Decide what pieces of my presentation  work best in video

Decide what pieces of my presentation  work best in still photos.

Does the audio work best with video, or will it be combined with still photos?

What part of my presentation  works best in graphics? Such as Animated graphics

What part of my presentation belongs in text?

On a sheet of paper, sketch out what each page will look like and the elements it will include.
