DETAILED DESIGN

TASK: This is where you decide exactly what will go on each main story page, including multimedia assets. As this is a trial project you will be given plenty of help with the finished design and the script for the storyboard. 

Ideally you should:

  1. Decide what will happen on each page. This means splitting the story up into sensible chunks, one for each page, including the different routes that can be taken.
  2. Produce a simple flowchart to show how the pages are linked and the pathways through the story. If you've never planned a story before it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you go to the SPB Helper link below to see how it can be done.  You can download am example storyboard from the "guide grid" below.
  3. Develop a set of detailed storyboards, one for each page.
    Remember that all the action should take place on the pages. This means that all the assets must be embedded and should not open in new windows.  You have been provided with a  storyboard template which will help you produce your own detailed storyboard.

Each storyboard should include:

      • the part of the story this page tells
      • background/scenery and layout
      • navigation features and links
      • font colours, styles and sizes
      • description of assets needed such as images, sound effects, narration, music video, animation, etc.
      • Annotate your designs to help others understand your choices.
