Reflection
This storyboard maps out my entire Module 1 titled Introduction to Washoku & Bento. It incorporates the welcome message talking head video and Module 1 screencast of the Five Principles of Washoku. Since it's at the very beginning of the course, it has the most foundational content which includes the philosophical underpinnings as well as an overview of Japanese cuisine. Because of this, it is the most extensive and intensive of the modules.
Storyboarding Process
I think this storyboarding process was very important in mapping out my module content, which I was developing as I went and thus kept it very rough. Though I looked around at the templates, I ultimately decided to customize mine from scratch, so that this storyboard is also the development of a template which I will refine.
I really didn't want to fiddle with the various storyboarding programs or tools available because I felt it would detract from the development of actual content, which I needed to keep progressing. I also didn't want to be discouraged from using this useful process and employed my hands, since I'm a kinesthetic learner, as I'm already using tools like Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, which have their own learning curves.
Storyboarding Template
My future template will be a cleaner version of the above, which I will print out and fill out by hand.
