Storyboarding Resources
A storyboard, at its most simplistic, is a sequence of images used to sketch out the actions of a story that is intended to be told in a video.The thing closest to a storyboard that most people would be familiar with is a Power Point side show. In a presentation, each slide usually demonstrates one point of the presentation. While presenting, the slideshow helps keeps the speaker on topic, and ensures he doesn't forget some essential point.
The same is true in movie making. A story board, whether it's made with pencil on paper or with a digital tool, helps the movie makers ensure that one event follows smoothly after another, and keeps the story on track.
Learn to Storyboard
- The National Film Board of Canada has a storyboarding game for kids. It's fairly limited as to the storylines, but serves as a good introduction to the process.
