Writing stories can be difficult and getting the pace and descriptions is a common difficulty. Students from George Salter High School used the storyboarding software Kar2ouche to create a storyboard about an attack by a creature. The students had been reading Jaws and looked at how to the book and the film built up the tension, some cases leading to a false alarm and others leading to a real attack.

The students had to create a storyboard to set the scene, then build up the tension to a false alarm and then build up the tension to a real attack. The students had seen the following storyboard and finished story as stimulus. They then created their own storyboard and then used it to help create a piece of original writing.

Storyboard Example in Kar2ouche

Story based on the Storyboard

Students from Alexandra took part in a stop-frame animation project. They had to plan, script and storyboard their story and build their sets. At the CLC they then had to make their models and begin the painstaking process of animation using iStopMotion. Once they had their animations recorded they then used Garageband to record their sound track.

Working with Alexandra High School we have been creating some pieces of music in GarageBand which are inspired by their Klimpt style patterns.  Once this is done the then the music produced is swapped between students and now new artwork is created using Photoshop which is now being inspired by the freshly created music and other students work.
