Each step of the final project design is added to the Final Project Design Word Document and submitted in Blackboard under assignments.
At each step of the design process you will add what you have learned to the final project. By the end of the semester the final project will be almost complete, and just require some finishing touches.
Step 2: Algorithm, Storyboard, and Sound Using the synopsis of the story, create a storyboard showing each of the major steps that will occur. Your storyboard must have at least 10 frames with a unique title, the major events, characters, location changes, and dialog. The storyboard is your own work. You can draw stick figures on paper, then take a picture or use any drawing software. You may NOT use artwork done by anyone else. Paste the storyboard here:

What is the title of each frame (use Alice naming conventions):
Open the final project, lastname_firstname_finalproject1.a3p, and save it as lastname_firstname_finalproject2.a3p. Add comments to show the title of each frame of the algorithm. Each frame of the algorithm must have a title and be a separate comment. If there are items in your story that are not in Alice, how have you represented them? Billboards can display a picture, or you can substitute something. There is no goose. I will use a different bird. From the menu select Project, Resource manager, import audio. Import at least 3 sounds that you will use in the final project. List those 3 sounds here. Chopping sound for cutting down the beanstalk, cow mooing, goose honking Submit this document with all previous steps completed (nothing deleted) and the Lastname_Firstname_FinalProject2.a3p file in assignments.
