Storyboarding - Resources

Storyboards are graphic organizers in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of per-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence. One advantage of using storyboards is that it allows (in film and business) the user to experiment with changes in the storyline to evoke stronger reaction or interest. Flashbacks, for instance, are often the result of sorting storyboards out of chronological order to help build suspense and interest.

Interactive media

More recently the term storyboard has been used in the fields of web development, software development and instructional design to present and describe, in written, interactive events as well as audio and motion, particularly on user interfaces and electronic pages.

Novels

Storyboards are now becoming more popular with novelists. Because most novelists write their stories by scenes rather than chapters, storyboards are useful for plotting the story in a sequence of events and rearranging the scenes accordingly.

Film

A film storyboard is essentially a large comic of the film or some section of the film produced beforehand to help film directors, cinematographers and television commercial advertising clients visualize the scenes and find potential problems before they occur. Often storyboards include arrows or instructions that indicate movement.

Business

Storyboards are used today by industry for planning ad campaigns, commercials, a proposal or other business presentations intended to convince or compel.

Controversial Television Ad

Controversial television ad for Fundamentals of Advertising. I didn't really like the idea of having to make a controversial ad.  I think they are all in bad taste and really wish that we didn't do this assignment.

I had 4 ideas for the ad.

1. Penn state football - good touch bad touch football

2 A man is holding a game controller and a woman is doing household chores. The tag line is something about this game controller is so great it can even control her.

3. Making fun of PETA with an ad for mashed potatoes

4 A paintball ad using real footage of war and making light of it.

I ended up doing the mashed potatoes ad. Here are my story board.

Sausage Fest

 Portfolio Assignment Rebranding Jimmy Dean

Currently the tagline for Jimmy Dean is “Eat Jimmy Dean”
Lets think about target markets and change this tagline to fit the appropriate market.

FIRST, DEFINE A TARGET MARKET…
Female head of households
THEN DECIDE ON A MESSAGE…
1. Bring the whole family around the table even on the busiest of mornings.
2. America's most beloved breakfast sausage.
3. Every Mom's Secret for a breakfast they will eat.
4. Make your family feel extra special
5.  Perfect for a busy family to enjoy together.
6. Jimmy Dean is always home.
7. A breakfast must do.
8. An old fashion sausage for a modern breakfast.
9. Brings the family together.
10. Family Pleasing


I made this as a joke for the assignment not feeling too inspired about this assignment
My other idea was yes some people claim to like our sausage but then some people claim to have been abducted by aliens.
