Big Picture

1. Participants will understand that:

   • Procedural storytelling refers to a way of designing stories so they’re different every time.
   • the open structure of the Web allows you to create procedural stories
   • Information architecture is a system of organization that takes into account both how you present information and how a user accesses that information.
   • SVT (Story, Vision, Tech) is a solid model for creating a web native film. Technology can serve as inspiration, but never substitute for a story.
   • Using data allows you to change the context of a story.

   Learners will be able to :

   • Use Popcorn Maker to pull dynamic data from the web into a video.
   • Plan a web native story using paper prototyping.
   • Recontextualize a story by adding data to it.
   • Use keyboard shortcuts (i.e. for copying and pasting)
   • Right-click and scroll with the mouse
   • Create storyboards and schematics.

2. The Results:

   • Learners will use Popcorn Maker to make a new project.

3. The Event Type:

   • Kitchen Table Event

4. Tell the story:

   Learners will make their own web native films and explore larger concepts on the topic. They will collaborate to make critical commentary and use assets from the web to tell a story of their own.
