What is a Storyboard?

T-SBFND-001-001

A storyboard is an illustrated version of the script in a production. The director uses it as a visual draft for a film or television series. The storyboard is an effective way to communicate what a director wants in the project. A script can be interpreted in different ways, but a storyboard does not leave much place for interpretation.

In animation, the storyboard contains all the important information needed for the production:

• A basic idea of the layout
• The script
• The dialogue
• The duration of each scene
• The camera move (if any)
• Character or element actions
• Sometimes even mood or colour
