4. Storyboarding Scenario
“Once upon a time, there was a little girl
named Goldilocks. She went for a walk in the
forest. Pretty soon, she came upon a house.
She knocked and, when no one answered,
she walked right in.
At the table in the kitchen there were three
bowls of porridge. Goldilocks was hungry.
She tasted the porridge from the first bowl.
‘This porridge is too hot!” she exclaimed.
So, she tasted the porridge from the second
bowl.
‘This porridge is too cold!” she shrieked.
Finally, she tasted the last bowl of porridge.
‘Ahh, this porridge is just right,’ she said
happily and she ate it all up. Flickr by In pastel

10. Finding the right images
 Tomorrow may never come again, so take all
pictures and video footage you can when you
are in the field.
 Look at the environment, decide what does your
audience need to know to understand your story.
 Use creative commons licensed pictures to
provide imagery for the parts of story that you
don’t have images for.
