Storyboarding

Storyboards are graphic organizers, a form of pre-visualising content using illustrations and/or images.

By recording information in detail on the storyboard, it's easy to communicate the type of shot, action, editing and also give advice to the actors to perfect the shot.

It's helpful to use storyboards as a checklist, and cross of all the shots filmed.

Alfred Hitchcock is a fine example of directors using storyboards for professional films. Click the photo below to see scenes and their storyboards from some of his different films.
