STORYBOARDS

What is a Storyboard?

A storyboard is a graphical/visual representation of the camera shots in a film sequence.  They are connected together to create a "narrative flow".

A storyboard is similar in appearance to a comic book or comic strip.  The story of the film is created with a series of drawings which depict the location, characters, props and setting of each shot.

Beneath the images there are captions detailing action, camera directions, lighting directions and sometimes dialogue and soundtrack listings.
