The importance of story boards

Story boards are very important within the planning stage of making a film. This is because it allows you to get all of your ideas down and put them into an order, allowing you to know exactly when each shot will happen, the duration, the transitions and any sound or camera movements during that shot. It also allows you to get a good understanding of what your finished piece of work will look like as you will have all the shots in the correct order. A story board also allows the writer to think in more depth about what is going on in the scene when drawing them, such as the setting and props that will be in the shot. Planning a story board also helps to plan ahead for the actual filming of the shots. This is due to you knowing what shots you will be filming and watch shots you are not.

Here are a few examples of some storyboards.They show exactly what will be happening in each shot and what order they will be shown. They also have additional details to show the camera movements and editing, and to explain what is happening.
