A storyboard is an essential planning device used by most directors in the film and television industry.

It allows directors to think in advance about how they want the narrative to develop and consider the technical and audio codes they will use to convey it.

Preparing a storyboard helps you think through the moving image in your head and then capture it on paper with camera shots, angles, and transitions all documented.

A well-constructed and thought out storyboard saves a lot of time when it comes to filming a moving image text.

Key things to include in your storyboard:

• Shot description, number and duration Write down a short description of what will be in each shot. Give each shot a number and write down how long you want each shot to last. This will help you work out the final film duration.
• Visuals Draw what will happen in each scene. You can be as detailed as you want but line drawings will work just as well. You can also add in photographs. In your image show how you want the shot framed and include any key props in the ��������-���-����è�Ա�.
• Technical Codes Include the camera shots and angles you will use, as well as a suggestion of how you will edit from one shot to the next. You can use arrows to show any movement of the camera such as zooms or pans.
• Audio Codes Describe any sound that you want to be included in the shot. You need to clearly indicate whether the sound is diegetic or non-diegetic including music, dialogue and sound effects.
