ABSTRACT

In most cases storyboarding involves representing moving pictures and sound with pictures and type. Perspective becomes especially important in film and video, thus in storyboarding, too. The design principle of movement shifts from being implied in stop-action pictures to being literal in live-action ones. Storyboarding movement shots involves knowing another vocabulary. For example, a pan or panning indicates a stationary camera that sweeps across the scene. A storyboard visualizes the entire project in the form of individual scenes, shots or screens. A concept storyboard distills the project down to the minimum number of views necessary to tell the story. A production storyboard or a shooting storyboard provides more detailed information for a production crew. After the storyboard and before the actual production shoot, there may be an in-between stage that cheaply simulates what the storyboard might look like as live action.
