A storyboard is a graphic layout that sequences illustrations and images with the purpose of visually telling a story. A story board is used to communicate how a scene will play out shot by shot and is often used for motion pictures, television, animation, commercials, pre-visualizations or interactive media.
Storyboard panels can be comprised of custom drawings, screenshots from comparable videos, or photos taken on location.
A storyboard template or storyboarding software is designed to make the process of assembling and sharing professional story boards much easier.
