When we identify the various plot points we will start to write our story in different ways, namely:
Synopsis - Summary of the story in an order that communicates the plot points in the order it occurs
Screenplay/Script: A detailed layout of the similar to that of a Shakespearean play
Storyboard: A sequential picture story so that the Production personnel can know what compositions they are working with.
Animatic: A recorded dialogue and rough music and sound, usually for the benefit of a client to show how the story will play out over time. (usually used in animation projects, or in films with complex special effects). Rapidly being replaced in the industry by PreViz, a technique using 3D sprites to tell the story, instead of story board sketches.
Shot List: Once a detailed storyboard is done then a checklist of shots are arranged in the order that is most convenient to shoot. It is at this point that you can develop a comprehensive budget and crew list.

This week we dealt with a lot of video production terms also we had a chance to create a Crew List for the Jus Buss promo as an in class assignment. We were the jingle was given and we had to decide on who we actually need for the production. This was interesting because this is an actual promotion and it gives us an idea how production is practically done.
