Storyboard Your Project

        Creating a storyboard requires a lot of decision making and performing many tasks. You must first evaluate your screenplay. Your separate shots should be visually translated into individual storyboard panels. Each shot consists of continuous footage without cuts. The individual panels help make the task seem less overwhelming.
        When getting ready to piece your storyboard, you must make sure that you have the right location, the correct number of actors, props and even special lighting. You may want to storyboard every shot of just certain scenes. You many change your mind once you begin shooting and consider your options and surroundings.
        Shapes and dimensions will determine if you are creating a storyboard for the television screen or theatrical screen. Creating a storyboard panel is a great way to envision your film by creating a box of your illustration. You can purchase pads of storyboard panels or even make your own. Creating your own is simple and will help give you an idea of what your individual image will look like.
