What is a Storyboard?

Why do we bother to storyboard?
- Helps with continuity
- improves the narrative
- Makes it easier to visualise the idea
- Makes you think about composition
- Shots that impact the story and what follows next

                        

 Why is important Before filming? - all of the above is important, planning time and money


Why is it important after? - For the editor, who are mostly not needed on set, and should make sure it makes sense for someone with fresh eyes

- Shot number
- Location
