What Is a Storyboard?
A storyboard is a graphic organizer that visually displays the flow of a film, animation, video or motion graphics. The storyboard, which explains the production process, looks similar to a graphic novel or comic book with illustrations and images, including the script or dialogue. Storyboarding can help identify issues or where to make improvements to make the production process more efficient.
How to Create a Storyboard?
- Get started by defining the objectives of your video or film, including the message or impression you are trying to convey. Think about the audience you are trying to capture, and how you can do that with your film or video. Once you have decided on your direction, decide on how long the video or film should be.
- Select a storyboard template from Creately’s extensive gallery, or create your own by styling shapes and format, importing images and using creative color palettes.
- You can start sketching the shots in each box with Creately’s freehand drawing option, or import clip-art or illustration to visually explain the scenes.
- Now you can add your script that includes details on the characters, plot, prop, theme, setting and more, to define what is going on in the shot.
- Share your storyboard in PNG, SVG, JPEG, and PDF formats or publish your creation on popular platforms.
- Start a discussion using Creately’s in-app conferencing features, get feedback from your team members across different departments or locations, as though you are interacting in the same room.
