Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered
A storyboard is a visual plan for your project based on the script, showcasing the different shots and sequences. It is completed before production so that the director and crew know what each shot should look like.
When you set out to make your storyboard, there is a lot of freedom in how you go about it. That being said, here are some basic storyboarding steps you can follow.
- Read your script and think about what shots would be best
- Start with a blank storyboard template
- Add your images (either hand-drawn or digitally created)
- Label your images with scene and shot numbers
- Include a description for each shot for context
- If there is camera or character movement, insert arrows to indicate that
- Assemble your completed storyboards in story order
