Storyboarding

Follow these simple steps to make your storyboard effective.

Step 1:
Write a synopsis of the plot.

Step 2:
Break up the plot into moments and scenes, then shots.

Step 3:
Draft the scenes in thumbnail boxes. Use ‘stick’ figures with short descriptions.

Step 4:
Analyse your storyboard. Look for missing scenes, soundtrack and/or various other camera angles which will enhance the detail of your storyboard.

Step 5:
Use drawings, clip art or photos to add more detail to each scene.

Step 6:
Take a step back and ensure the continuity of the storyboard.
