I have picked days that I know other sports are having practices that will allow me to come in and capture pictures to use throughout my feature article. Next week I will be going to baseball workouts, the soccer game, and the basketball game.

With those pictures being a part of...

There is a lot to think about when put one together; like the color, spacing, making sure all the important information is on there etc.  The article Storyboard Your Way to Success stated; “Storyboarding is a structured exercise based on brainstorming.” This helped me understand what a story board what, what the importance of it is. James Higgins the author of the article also stated “Storyboards are classified into four principal levels: planning, idea, organization and communication boards.” These are the steps used when it comes to creating a story board. With these steps it allowed me to outline my board correctly, providing all the information on it.      I had a great experience when creating my story board. It was nice to see everything laid out and have a hard copy of it rather than an idea in my head or just words on a paper. When constru...
