Looking to share your creative vision with your filmmaking crew? Look no further than a storyboard! While shot lists and scripts are important, storyboards visually convey your ideas and goals to your team. Don’t have a storyboard yet? No problem! We’ve got a free storyboard template for you to download below.
But what exactly is a storyboard? In short, it’s a document that provides cinematographers with the information they need to shoot a specific shot for a film or video project. Storyboards are often identified by their thumbnail images, and can include important camera information like lens options, stabilization preferences, and lighting diagrams.
If you’re working on a legitimate production, chances are you’ll need a storyboard. And even if you’re not, creating a storyboard can save you and your crew a lot of time and confusion on set.
But how do you use a storyboard? Simply fill out all the appropriate boxes for each shot. And don’t worry if you don’t know certain information – just leave the field blank.
