Storyboarding and Scriptwriting for Corporate Video and E-Learning

African organisations increasingly use video and e-learning to train staff and reach customers, but weak scripts waste production budgets. This course teaches communicators to plan and write scripts and storyboards that translate a message into clear visual sequences. Delegates learn to write for the ear and eye, pace content for retention and brief a production team effectively.

What you will be able to do

  • Define the message and audience before writing a single scene.
  • Structure a script that opens strongly and holds attention.
  • Write conversational narration that works when spoken aloud.
  • Build a storyboard that links words to visuals and actions.
  • Pace content and segment learning for retention.
  • Brief a production team using a clear script and shot list.
