9.1 Movie storyboard• Expected duration of each movie
– 5-10 minutes
• A movie is a combination of: – Lightweight ppt ‘slides’
(these could be accompanied by webcam video captured in Camtasia explaining key points)
• Key points, context of the work, sketch the walkthrough
– Screen capture interaction with the plugin/etc. • Indicate on your storyboard if you want to zoom into areas of the
screen (this will be done at the editing stage, not the recording stage)• Don’t forget to set Camtasia up so that left and right mouse clicks are
obvious
– Ongoing narration of what is happening on screen and why • Must be in a catching and accessible language
NOTE: You will record the ppt slides and screen capture sessions in separate segments – there is no need for you to edit the segments together – Colin will do that. Ensure you use the recommended filenaming convention for easy identification of segment files and where they fit your storyboard.
9.2 Movie storyboard
• You should prepare your storyboard in a ppt and submit it with your movie
• Annotate your slides to indicate where you want to e.g.:– Add Captions - no need for you to record these in your movie – you
merely indicate on your storyboard – a standard design of caption will be used across all movies.
– Zooming into areas of the screen
• There is no need to format your storyboard slides – just use a plain slide and text.
9.3 Movie storyboard
• Ensure there are these distinct sections to your storyboard:– Who is targeted by my plugin?
• Who should benefit from the outcomes?
– What is my plugin about?• Why is it around?• Key features?
– How to get the plugin/technology, install it, set it up, register with it,…?
10.1 Movie scriptYou should prepare a script and submit it with your movie
• You can either:– A) (Preferred option) Prepare a verbatim script (MS
Word file) annotated with screen actions & referenced to the sections of your storyboard and timings in your movie.
OR– B) Prepare an outline script for your storyboard, but
you improvise the words during recording – Note: if you choose this method, the audio soundtrack of your movie will be transcribed so that the Editorial Board may review/edit it.
Note: narration scripts will be polished by the Editorial board & a professional voice artist will re-record the narration. This will be added by Colin at the editing stage.
10.2 Movie script– Narration techniques:
• Voice over Powerpoint slides – You should record any ppt narration in a separate file using
Camtasia Powerpoint capture. You don’t need to edit this file – it will be combined at the editing stage.
– No need to format slides – a standard template will be added in at the editing stage.
– Ideally, no more than 4 points on a slide.
• Webcam capture– A single narrator can be captured in Camtasia Camera capture.– You could use an interview style - i.e. interviewer is off
camera, and interviewee answers questions (you should pause inbetween speakers, and ensure no talking over each other)
10.3 Movie Script
• ‘Intellectual accessibility’– You should avoid Jargon, use consistent terminology,
references to established terms
• Some issues:– What about repetitive content (installation, definition
of networked ontologies,…)
– If there is repetition, this could be addressed at the script/movie editing stage – i.e. repetitive sections could be removed from movies and shown separately.
11. Movie Exemplars
– Simply DV (a movie by Colin Barrett – note use of zoom – (such effects can be added to your movie during the editing process – you must indicate this on your storyboard.)
– Isoco – WP8 e-invoicing (note: visual only – no audio, note use of captions)
– Buddyspace – (note style of language used in narration)
