Storyboarding

Storyboard

How do we create a storyboard?

1. A storyboard is a tool to help you visualize how your film/animation would look like. It gives you a good idea about how to edit it and makes it easier for you to create the film/animation. 

How do we create a storyboard?

2. Drawing a storyboard involves drawing a still image of what a final shot might look like. Storyboards consist of a series of images, much like the panels of a comic strip, that give you an idea of how to compose different scenes. Perhaps more importantly, they illustrate how these scenes might (or might not) fit together once you begin editing.

When or where is storyboarding useful?

3. Storyboarding is useful when you are making an animation or film. Visualizing your ideas before you shoot allows you, by yourself, on your own time, to get an idea of what will and what won't work. Creating a storyboard will help you plan your animation out shot by shot. You can make changes to your storyboard before you start animating, instead of changing your mind later. You will also be able to talk about your animation and show your storyboard to other people to get feedback on your ideas.
