Digital Media: What's a Storyboard?

Story boards are something you use to plan what ever your recording, it is like your blueprints, your ingredients, and it's a step by step process It is your script in a drawing form, so almost like a comic book, story boards shows you your story panel by panel for your animation or skit. The story board will also help pre-visual your story so you can look it over and see if its okay, and essentially a long comic strip. You would also need to use composition through out the story board say if you wanted to look up from the characters point of view, you would want to draw a picture of what the character is looking up to, either a person, or a thing, same thing goes for looking down. You would also want to use Animatics, this will help you look at the scene's movement and timing, also photomatic, photomatic is like comic book strips but you would here music in the background and voice actors acting out the character, story boards are also used in comic books, so sketching the scene and picking the perfect one. Storyboards will help the actors and the director of whats gonna happen in the scene.
