In this assignment, we got to collaborate with students from another school in Ohio. The students from Bio Med Science Academy were supposed to make a video based on the script and storyboard that we (KAS students) write for them. The script and storyboard are about a personal reading book that I read called the maze runner.

Me and my partner communicated with emails and social media (snapchat), we discussed the camera angles and the dialogue in the character scenes in our project. Even though we were able to communicate over social media, it was still difficult because of the different time zone.

Script
This was my second time writing a script for a story, it was still a little confusing because I didn’t know how to arrange the conversation between the protagonist and antagonist. I didn’t want the script to look exactly like how the book is written, so I tried to change how the character talked and the order that the character talked in, but I didn’t change the main point of the scene.

Storyboard
My first time drawing a storyboard was an interesting experience. At first I didn’t know what a storyboard was, but after looking at some examples, I tried to draw what I thought the story and setting should look like. I think drawing the storyboard helped my partner with making the movie trailer because it can help her know what should or shouldn’t be in the movie trailer.

Overall experience
I think this was very fun to work with someone oversea and getting to know how different schools focus on teaching different subjects. In Bio Med Science Academy they focus on teaching technology and science, but in our KAS english class we were learning about writing a script and storyboard. I think the process of putting together different types of our specialty and making it into a collaborative project is very interesting.
