"Putting ideas quickly on paper is the only way to
evaluate them to see if they are worth exploring
further. Computer renderings and modern CAD and
modeling packages are great, but thinking on paper
with a good old-fashioned pencil is always the place to
start.“

The Storyboard
A storyboard is a sketch of how to organize a story and a list of its
contents.
A storyboard helps you:
• Define the parameters of a story within available resources and time
• Organize and focus the theme of product usage
• Figure out what value it provides to the user and how
Why You Need a Storyboard?
• Best way to share your vision
• easier for you to share and explain the vision for your product.
• show people exactly how your product is going to be mapped out.
• Makes production much easier
• setting up a plan for production.
• starting point or suggested thorough line.
• Saves your time
• help you explain your vision to your team, also make the creation process go
more smoothly.
Three components that makes a storyboard
Trigger How does the problem scenario
initiate?
Action How is the action executed? How
easy is it?
Reward How is the persona gratified?
How to Do a Rough Storyboard
• Divide the story into its logical, nonlinear parts, such as:
• a lead or nut paragraph, essentially addressing why this story is important
• profiles of the main person or people in the story
• the event or situation
• any process or how something works
• pros and cons
• the history of the event or situation
• other related issues raised by the story
How to Make a Storyboard?
1) Create blank slides

templates.html
2) Add your script
3) Sketch your story
give an impression of what is happening, which characters are in
the scene and what the general framing will look like
Helpful Tips to Keep in Mind
• Show, don’t tell. Use the storyboard as a litmus test to determine if your
story is truly being visualized.
• Make sure it’s logical and coherent. You’re creating a story, so the
narration should look visually consistent from beginning to end
• Pick a theme. Highlight a customer pain point, show a character on
screen and take them through a journey.
Include all relevant details.
Break up your script into smaller chunks and make note of important
information:
• What is the setting or background for the scene?
• Is there a character on screen? If so, what action is the character performing?
• What props are in the scene? This should fit in with the context of the
background / setting you’re using
• Will any text appear on screen? What is the size, color, and position of the
text?
• What message are you trying to deliver?
Helpful Tips to Keep in Mind (Cont.)
Self Analysis :
• How do I spend my time? What are my activities during a normal
day?
• What do I know about? What are my areas of expertise? What am I
studying in school?
• What do I like? What are my hobbies? What are my interests?
• What bothers me? What would I like to change in my world or life?
• What are my strongest beliefs, values and philosophies?
