In Week 2, you will learn not only the functions and the sequences of a storyboard, but also the most useful ways to locate images, such as using photos taken with a digital camera and images downloaded from the internet based on the size, quality, type and usage rights. Then, we will also examine the importance of selecting appropriate images and creating a storyboard. We will explore the basic elements of the script, such as introduction, character development, tension and resolution that are necessary in developing a script. We will begin by discussing the steps in developing and writing a script for the digital story you will create in this course. In Week 2, we will focus on scriptwriting, storyboarding, and Creative Commons.
