Storyboard Breakdown
Panel/Frame
Represents what the camera will see.
Come in a bunch of different shapes.
Pick a panel shape that matches your shooting aspect ratio. For example, square and widescreen.
Deciding where you put the person in your frame is the basic of your composition.
Arrows
It show where the character or door or anything is moving.
Make sure the arrows easy to read and make sense.
Arrows within the panel usually mean a subject is moving in the shot.
Arrows around the edges usually imply some sort of camera movement.
Camera Movement
Dolly movements are typically drawn with one arrow often narrowing a little bit to suggest movement in or out of 3D space.
Both dolly shots and zooms can also be illustrated by placing arrows in all four corners of the panel.
Pans shown with an arrow on the side of the panel
Tilts up and down shown with the arrows at the top or bottom of the panel.
Useful for preparing scenes that require multiple effects techniques.
Alternatives to Storyboarding
Used actual photos from the location scouts
Filmmakers who've adapted comics and graphic novels often use the original artwork as storyboards.
Videotape your pre-vis, which is really useful for complex action.
Animation has also been used to help capture complex sequences.
