Video Storyboard Idea

For my video I will do an overview of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Here is my very broad storyline:

I'll start by showing a clip of a forest or a picture of a forest with a river going through it, with a voice over about the importance of finding the Northern Passage across the nation through rivers. Then I'll show a map of the purchase and where the expedition started, and do an animation of the way that they traveled till their first important stop. From there I'll show a picture of their first important stop, and insert a clip from a professor talking about why this place is important. Then I'll do another voice-over animation of the map till their second important stop. I'll show another picture, and discuss why its important, and then go back to the map to show the last important stop before reaching the coast and insert another professor clip or image of the place. I think that doing this through a video only makes sense because the trip becomes more alive and realistic as you see images and distances, and hear from an expert as to why it was so important. The visual nature of the journey and the importance of hearing about it at the same time (through someone different than your teacher) keeps the expedition interesting and exciting.
