Brainstorming for Storyboard
After deliberating for a while over a solid topic, our group eventually decided that steroids would be a solid choice. We then moved on the topic of our video. None of us were against the idea of filming a video and we all thought that we had fairly good ideas that would make for a good video. We began brainstorming and jotting our ideas out onto a sheet of paper. The paper was very unorganized and random but it ended up being a great way to collect our thoughts before we began the actual story boarding process. We talked about a number of different ways to approach our video. We discussed the pros and cons of doing steroids in professional sports versus portraying steroid use in high school or college level sports. We discussed having just one story and following that story very closely or having two separate stories and having them collide in the video. We ended up deciding that having two separate high school boys, me being one and Matt being the other, was the best route to take. Matt and I would both be attending the same high school and fighting for the same scholarship on the football team. We would both meet with our coach and discuss how we were both well-qualified for the position and whoever showed that they wanted it more would get it. We then go our separate ways. Matt then decides that he is going to take steroids to try and cheat his way into the scholarship. I take the traditional approach and work as hard as I can without any supplements to get the position. Matt ends up winning the scholarship and all the girls at our school have taken notice of his large muscles. I grow more and more jealous until Matt is eventually caught taking the steroids in the locker room of the gym and reported to the coach. At this point we go on to discuss the downside of steroids and how it is actually not beneficial in the long run. We are going to attempt to present our project with a double screen, showing what Matt and I are doing at the same time. Katelyn and Katherine will be narrating the entire film to minimize confusion. They may also play the role of the girls that Matt and I are trying to get to like us. We will use some of our friends for other positions such as the coach and other football players on the team. We have finished our storyboard and are going to begin filming today. We have also already divided up the different parts of the paper that we each need to complete and have set due dates for ourselves.
