Storyboards are used in planning films and animations. They consist of a series of drawings with explanations of what happens in each scene. Storyboards help visualize scenes before filming and organize filming by showing what shots and camera movements are needed. They usually include details like the number of scenes, camera shots, camera movements, timings, lighting, sounds, and locations. The purpose of a storyboard is to plan out a video or animation beforehand and see what each scene will look like. They can be created by hand or digitally.
