 Writing a script 

Scripting is an important part of the multimedia creation process. When used in conjunction with a well-designed storyboard, a good script can spell the difference between a short, clear and concise video and one that rambles and loses focus.

Here is a great site that discusses organizing your slide show

This is a great site to look at how to shoot photos for your slideshow

These are some good examples of slideshows

Assignment for practice: 

You will write a script and include pictures for a "how to slideshow" that will last no less than 2 minutes and no more than 3 minutes. This is due next Sunday by noon so we can look at a couple on Monday for critique. 

All of the visuals must be created by you. Use your own photography. Use Canva if it works for you. 

The Writing: 

Every video or podcast should have some kind of introduction and closing. Typically you introduce yourself and briefly set the viewers’ expectations about what they will be learning. Remember, your introduction is your first impression. 

Identify one to three things (goals) you want your viewer to leave with

Keep asking yourself: is this essential? Could I cut this, or make it shorter while still achieving my goals?

Read the script out loud before you record it to make sure it flows well and sounds correct. Also, send it to someone else for review

It should like like this: 

Recording yourself: 

Keep your tone conversational, and make sure it reflects your personality. This will help keep people interested.

When recording, don’t stray from what you’ve written in the script.
