Frame/Event Description Media List

Here you describe:
· what will appear on the screen (picture,
clip, graphic or other kind of visual)
· what listeners will hear (music,
narrative, sounds)
· your director’s comments about what
you are trying to achieve and
communicate…
Narration: (Here you write out the narrative.)
Here you list the specifics of every piece of
media you will need; this will help you
gather materials before beginning story
construction; it also serves as a “works cited
list” for copyright purposes…
· Music, songs, sounds, voice
recordings
· Pictures, graphics, diagrams
· Video clip
· Text, titles

Notes:

1. Write about a sentence or two for narration cell (enough to record about 20 seconds at a
time. In my experience, that is the most comfortable length for recording each voice over
clip).
2. If you are producing 2-minute video, you should have at least 6 frames. If your video is
3-minute long, you should have at least 9 frames.
3. If you work as a group of 2, your frames should be doubled.
4. Rule of Thumb:
● 20 seconds = 1 frame
● 1 minute = 3 frames
● 2 minutes = 6 frames
● 3 minutes = 9 frames
 5. In your final video, limit it between 2 – 3 minutes.
6. More than 50% of your final project should come from your own video footage. The
remaining percent (less than 50%) can be still images or videos from YouTube or any
other resources.
