Assignment 2: Go Animate
Objective
Create Your Own Animated eLearning or PSA Videos
Assignment:
1. Create A Storyboard
It all starts with a storyboard. These visual outlines serve as a guide throughout the entire video production process. Use a template to save time and then add screenshots, images, and illustrations to map out your animated video. Focus on your key takeaways to prevent cognitive overload. Remember, animated eLearning videos should be bite-sized to make them easier to digest.
2. Know Your Audience
Animated eLearning videos offer the perfect blend of entertainment and engagement, but only if you know who you're producing them for. You must learn as much as possible about your audience. What do they need out of the eLearning experience? Which problems are they trying to solve? What tasks do they need to learn in order to be productive in the workplace? Which devices will they use to watch to the animated eLearning video? Surveys, interviews, and pre-assessments are ideal feedback tools. They can help you custom tailor your eLearning video to meet the needs and preferences of your online learners.
3. Develop A Short Video Script
After you've created your visual road map and researched your audience, it's time to start writing. A video script is essential for animated eLearning videos. It must convey the right tone and speak in a language that your online learners understand. In other words, leave out the jargon and keep it conversational. Have your Subject Matter Experts on-hand to lend their expertise and try to stay under the 5-minute mark. Remember, bite-sized is best.

Assignment 5: Digital Story Slideshow
Digital Story
Objective
The purpose of this project is for students to create a multimedia presentation in the form of a digital story. A digital story is the result of a narrative that is written or recorded as audio and amplified with a sequence of images. This story should be compelling and meaningful and may also be personally relevant.
The slideshow is one of the dominant visual storytelling methods in use in media presentations. More and more, these slideshows are accompanied by audio, music, interviews, text as well as video. We will begin with the basics: still photos, accompanied by tightly written cutlines, that taken together to tell a story with integrity. Using video is optional if you find relative material
The Assignment.
1. Select a story of interest to the community that lends itself well to visual storytelling.
2. The story will be told as a slideshow using WeVideo or PhotoStory.
3. Photos should be in focus and well exposed, well composed and high quality. Consider different framing types for your photos ex: wide/overall, medium, close-up, and detailed.
4. Cutline should do more than state the obvious about the photo. The first sentence usually adds context or information about the situation in the photo. Second sentences often add information that advances the story or provides additional information.
5. The design of the slides should be consistent. You are encouraged to use motion effects or transitions as long as they remain consistent with the message of the slideshow
6. Keep slide design clean and simple.
