STORYBOARDS - WHAT ARE THEY?A storyboard is a visualisation that is used to plan a moving product (animation, video etc)

It is a plan, scene by scene of how the product will look.

It contains:

• Timings

• Camera Angles

• Lighting

• Setting

• Location

• Props

• Sounds

• What do each of the above mean?

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

Clearly shows each scene to allow clear planning.

It makes sure every aspect of the video is planned.

Makes the creator think about it from the audience point of view and the message they want to get across.

Allows resources to be available when needed for each scene.

Makes a video reviewable before going into production (cheaper, safer!)

WHY USE THEM?

CREATION PROCESSIdentify your scenes needed.

Think about setting, props, sound, location, mood, camera angle, lighting, timings etc.

Draw the scene.

Move to next scene.

Review and make changes (either at each scene, or once complete).
