Storyboard research


The script is now complete, so the next step is to research and draw up a storyboard.

Storyboard Research

The purpose of a storyboard is a visual plan or timeline of what will take place in a film, shot by shot. It helps to organize and make clear what will take place in the film, so it’s easier to shoot.

In films, it helps film crew to know what they are shooting, like directors and cameramen etc. It helps to make the shooting process easier for them, as it helps to keep continuity of shots, and for directors and producers to visualize exactly what they want to be in each shot.

Storyboards should tell you exactly what is in each shot, where the actors are placed and what they’re doing where they’re going etc.

This is an example of a film storyboard.

Now that the research for the storyboard has been completed, we now need to create one.
