Building Video Literacy: Storyboarding
This activity, created by EDC's Center for Children and Technology, lets students explore the relationship between types of shots and storytelling. Before viewing the video referenced below, students choose six different images that represent at least three of the five different types of shots: panorama, wide, two (medium), close-up, and extreme close up. Then, they sequence the six shots to tell a unique story, and write the words that go with each shot in the text box.
