Objective Learn about the storyboard process and create your own storyboard from the script
provided. Storyboards are graphic organizers such as a series of illustrations or images
displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre‐visualizing a motion graphic or interactive
media sequence, including website interactivity. The storyboarding process, in the form it
is known today, was developed at the Walt Disney studio during the early 1930s, after
several years of similar processes being in use at Walt Disney and other animation studios.
Directions Students should utilize the internet to locate actual storyboard examples from movies,
and then using the following movie script from You’ve Got Mail create your storyboard.
Make an accurate storyboard reflecting the locations, characters, and dialog with camera
angles. Use Comic Life® to create your storyboard. One requirement of this process is for
you to expand on this script, add a new scene, special effect or dialogue to make it your
own.

FADE IN ON:

Early morning in New York. A couple of runners pass on their way to Riverside Drive Park.
We go through the brownstone window into:
INT. KATHLEEN KELLY'S APARTMENT – DAY
KATHLEEN KELLY is asleep. Kathleen, 30, is as pretty and fresh as a spring day. Her
bedroom cozy has a queen‐sized bed and a desk with a computer on it. Bookshelves line
every inch of wall space and overflow with books. Framed on the children's classic.
Madeleine. As Kathleen wakes up, her boyfriend FRANK NAVASKY walks into the room. He
wears blue jeans and a work shirt. He's carrying the New York Times.
KATHLEEN Good morning.
FRANK (as he reads) Listen to this ‐‐ the entire work force of the state of Virginia had to
have solitaire removed from their computers –
Kathleen gets out of bed and goes to brush her teeth in the bathroom, and we stay with
Frank.
FRANK (continuing) …because they hadn't done any work in six weeks.
Kathleen comes out of the bathroom in her robe.
KATHLEEN Aren't you late?
FRANK (Continuing) You know what this is; you know what we're seeing here? We're
seeing the end of Western civilization, as we know it.
