9. 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?

10. SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

11. WHY USE THEM?
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!)

12. CREATION PROCESS
Identify 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).
