What is a storyboard? According to Wikipedia, "Storyboards are graphic organizers in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, ..." This is particularly pertinent in relation to our current project.
Creating a storyboard will help you plan your animation out shot by shot. You can make changes to your storyboard before you start animating, instead of after you have begun your video potentially saving you loads of time. (For more info check out this link: http://accad.osu.edu/womenandtech/Storyboard%20Resource/.)
Do a quick keyword search (storyboard template) on Google to get ideas to produce your own storyboard.
Now, onto the DESIGN (Criterion B). You need to produce two (2) different complete storyboards for you movie and to evaluate each against your design specification. Then you need to choose one of the designs and write a paragraph justifying your choice.
According to the IBO:
"Students are expected to generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.
Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.
To get a 5/6: The student generates a range of feasible designs, each evaluated against the design specification. The student justifies the chosen design and evaluates it fully and critically against the design specification."
Deadline May 13
IB Learner Profile: Risk-taker
Learning Objective: generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification; evaluate the designs against the specification; select one design and justify its choice.
Year 10, the third step of the Investigation is 3. Formulate a Design Specification.
The IBO defines Design Specification as: A detailed description of the conditions, requirements and restrictions with which a design must comply. This is a precise and accurate list of facts such as conditions, dimensions, materials, process and methods that are important for the designer and for the user. All appropriate solutions will need to comply with the design specification.
To get a 5/6 the student: describes detailed methods for appropriate testing to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification.
Your task is to create a detailed list of design specifications and justify your choice. Then create tests to evaluate your product.
Investigate Due: April 29 (end of class)
IB Learner Profile: Inquirer
Learning objective: The student will list the specific requirements that must be met by the product/solution and design tests to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification.
2. Develop a Design Brief (Ask and answer the following questions or look at the following research topics to help you solve your problem)
Write a sentence to introduce this section of the project (ex: To drive my Investigation I will conduct the following research.)
1. What is stop motion? Research and explain in your own words.
2. What are the elements of a story?
3. Look at 4 stop motion videos to gather information and ideas to make your own video?
(What worked? What didn't? What did you like? What didn't you like? What ideas can you use?
4. What techniques do I need to know to create a stop motion video? (Look at a tutorial).
5. What video host will you use? (Look at 2, justify choice)

Learning objectives: independently identify meaningful questions, carrry out web search, select and organize appropriate sources and evaluate them.
Before we begin let's look at the the OIS Cloud and try to access your storage area.
If you don't remember your password, please give me your name and I will arrange for a temporary password. Please follow these easy instructions:
To save work in the cloud please follow these steps to success: 1. login.microsoftonline.com 2. insert username/password (EXAMPLE: john.doe@student.oeirasinternationalschool.com) 3. Team Site 4. My Cloud 5. My Content
Now, let's evaluate it. Are you there? Did the instructions work? Can you save a document? Can you retrieve it?
Good job, now let's move on.
Year 10,Term 2 is done and dusted! So here we go again. On to our
final project. We're going to do a stop motion film. Let's look at an excellent example that was submitted last year.
What
is it? Stop motion (also known as stop action) is an animation
technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its
own. The object is moved in small increments between individually
photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series
of frames is played as a continuous sequence.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_motion
Our unit question is: How can I use Computer Technology to creatively tell a story?
Area of Interaction: Human Ingenuity
1. Identify the Problem (2 paragraphs)
1. The
best way to begin your Investigation is by writing a paragraph that
explains the problem as you understand it. (State problem, restate
problem in your own words, say why this project is relevant, say how you
will solve the problem, say who your customer is). 2. Then write a paragraph to connect your project to an Area of Interaction (Human Ingenuity)

4. What techniques do I need to know to create a stop motion video? (Look at a tutorial).
5. What video host will you use? (Look at 2, justify choice)
Look at any other topics that might help you create a great stop motion video (lighting, file format, etc).
