ABSTRACT
The script, the idea and the story for an animated film are almost always developed with a storyboard. The storyboard forms the framework, the basis for a successfully animated film. It is all about visual storytelling: communicating a story through the sequence of images. The topic of developing and writing a story for animation film is so broad and complex that it would require a book of its own. The story must be visually attractive: many outstanding animation short films are based on a basic concept that is relatively simple, but visually concise. A storyboard translates or develops the story for an animated film into the drawn version of the individual shots: It is about visual narration, visual storytelling. The chapter presents an example of how choosing different camera angles for the individual shots can create an entirely different impression of the same story.
