It brings me great pleasure to announce that the #SciFund Challenge is now officially a not-for-profit organization. After two years of planning and careful execution we’ve finally received our IRS approval. Now the REAL fun can begin.
Video Class 2014, Week Two
Welcome to Week Two of the SciFund Challenge 2014 video training class!
Last week, we focussed on how to convert our science into interesting narratives. This week: how do we turn those narratives into compelling visual stories? To do that, we’ll be using a standard planning tool for film making, known as storyboarding. Also this week: script writing!
This week you’ll be doing the following:
1. Putting together a storyboard and script for your video, which you’ll share to the class Google+ page for comments.
2. Giving comments to the storyboards and scripts for others in the class.
3. Taking part in a one hour group discussion, via Google Hangouts. The more of the class assignment you can get done before your group discussion, the better off you’ll be. At the least though, please get a draft of your script completed before your group discussion
On with the show!
