1st - Watch the video on Pre Production here. Review and Print (if necessary) the powerpoint for Broadcast Script Terms
2nd - Watch the screencast for storyboarding here . I have also included Storyboarding basics to help. If you think you have to be a good artist to draw an effective storyboard, then think again. Here is a video about how anyone can storyboard - Storyboarding as a bad artist

The script should be at least 2 pages in length and include shots and dialogue. Work as a group to write the story. Remember that all stories have a beginning, middle, and end.
