Hello, folks! You survived the scripting madness, and now, you have a beautiful, well-polished script.
Congrats! But what's next? How do we turn these written lines into a video? Well, that's exactly what we're diving into today - video development. So, let's transform those words into worlds! First up, I want you to ensure you’ve taken the time to analyse your script against the AGES model.
As a reminder, we’re looking to grab the attention of our viewers, to generate new connections between what they’er learning and what they already know, to create an emotional response, and to space our messaging. Pause the video now if you need to still do this analysis of your script with the AGES model in mind. Otherwise, continue on!One of the best ways you can go about ensuring that your visual approach is the best for your learners is to apply Meyers Multimedia Principles. Y
ou can see this in the check list and resources you have available, but some of my favorites include:The coherence principle - only include essential materialThe redundancy principle - Don’t use narration with on screen text; use narration with accompanying graphics.and the multimedia principle - Use images, graphics and text (instead of just text!).
So go ahead and add in visual direction for each of your scenes in your storyboard.Once you've done this, take the time to review it against each of the principles, and adjust accordingly!And thats it for now. We’ve covered the visual design part of the storyboarding using Mayers principles.Before you continue, make sure you've take the time you need to review them in detail, and to apply them while you add visual ideas to your storyboard.Up next, its time to choose the avatar and voice that fits your video best. Stay tuned, and i’ll see you there!
