What is a storyboard • From dictionary.com • a panel or panels on which a sequence of sketches depict the significant changes of action and scene in a planned film, as for a movie, television show, or advertisement.
Why do we use storyboards • Define the parameters of a story • Organize and focus a story • Figure out what medium to use for each part of the story • To understand what you are trying to communicate and what your intended message is. If you don't understand your message, no one will.
Types of Storyboards • A rough jotted down storyboard that just tries to figure out the story. • Concept storyboards, rich in color and detail, that search for the atmosphere of the film. • Color storyboards that map out the entire film according to which colors dominate which sequence. • Presentation storyboards, very elaborate and finely drawn, designed to sell an idea to a client.
