STORYBOARD A VIDEO PROJECT

Before recording the video clip, we had to create a storyboard that sequences the different scenes of the film. In this way, by taking a look at our storyboard you can easily guess what the video clip is about.

To design the storyboard, we have employed the app StoryboardThat. You don’t have to watch one hundred videos on YouTube to know how to use it. It´s very simple.Although it isn’t a complex tool, it has a lot of characters and scenes to create a personalised stoary board, which will represent the most important scenes of the video clip. Furthermore, characters have different positions and facial expressions to represent specifically where the characters are situated, and how they feel. Finally, you can decide the format of your stoary board, adding more strips if you need it.

While we were designing the stoary board, we were also making the dialogues that characters would later reproduce. In addition, the several recourses that this app provides, also give us ideas to include in our videoclip, such as landscapes, places, clothing, etc.

Here below you can see the stoary board of the video clip “Back to 1256”.

The theme that our stoary board represents is a come back to 1256, when people had very different attitudes and habits. In this way, students will be able to recognise how the world has changed in eight centuries.

It seem to be a basic thing but, in other apps I have tried, I had to pay for it. An other thing I consider essential of this page is that I can attach as many images from my computer.

BACK TO 1256 - VIDEO CLIP

The video we have created can be visualised by fourth grades in the area of Social Science. In this way, students will be able to compare and analyse some differences between the present and the past (XIII century): Awesome landscapes that have been replaced by buildings and roads. Healthy food that has been substituted by fast food. Male supremacy which is being switched into gender equality. In the video, a couple from the present travel in time to 1256 thanks to an awesome dream. There, they meet an other loving couple who show them habits, attitudes and landscapes they have in that period of time. In this line, the “modern couple” exchange with them their own belongings such as masks and doritos. Moreover, they emphasise the importance of the equality among men and women, what seemed to be impossible to achieve during the 13th century. The filming of the video has been possible due to a travel to Buitrago de Lozoya, a beautiful village located in the north of Madrid. Tha...

FAVOURITE P.E. GAMES

Physical Education lessons start with a warm up. After that, it´s very important to engage your students to your class with challenging games. Here, you can find some of the games I have played with them. I'm sure that they will be very profitable for all of you. - Tic Tac Toe: It´s known as "3 en raya" in Spain.
