How can visualisation diagrams be ineffective

LO4: Storyboards

1. The purpose of a storyboard is to show the Cinemtaographer, Editor and Director how it should look (frame the action,put the scenes together, controls the action) Represent the visuals to support the narrative
2. You would complete the script first because you need to know what the characters are saying so you can write the dailogue on the storyboard, script visualises the storyboard

1. Scene number
2. Timings per shot
3. Basic information about mise en scene (location INT/EXT charcters, action)
4. Camera shot types to be used
5. Camera movements and angles
6. Editing decisions (e.g cut to)
7. Information about use of sound (key dialogue/ SFX/ non diegteic music)
8. Camera types (DSLR, Sony prosumer)

LO4: Site Diagram

1. A site structure diagram is a pre production technique used to plan the layout of a website, games and apps. "A diagram that represents the navigation for the end user when using an interatcive product"
2. Media products they use site structure diagrams for is a computer programmer/coder. Needs to have instructions on how the end user is going to use it (audience)
3. Navigation means how we get around something to different places- hyperlinks, buttons,  
4. The end user would be the audience

If I have to draw a site strucutures diagram in the exam the annotations should include:

• Why are the main pages included- how they are linked to the scenario/ brief
• What the hyperlinks are for and where they will take the audience
• Explain how pages are linked together- end user

Interactive feautures would be on each page (photos/videos/ sounds)- Linked to the brief

Examples of how the layout and features would appeal too the target audience

How the brand will be the same across all pages (colours/layout)
