It helps us reduce the number of potential ideas, because a very flawed idea would have more way more weaknesses than strengths

It can be done in different stages of production to see if an idea is worth it; very applicable in the long run

Similar to a flatplan or wireframe but much more detailed in terms of the content and the colour scheme

Health risks of working in the area, potential lighting issues and opportunities, acoustic issues and opportunities, etc.

A visual plan for a media product that allows to the production team to see clearly how it'd look

Illustrations, images, annotations

Brings together all the information required to produce a media product

Task, resources needed, ownership details, permissions needed

All kinds of possible detail to convey how the product will end up, animations, drawing etc.

A 2D representation of how all the elements of a page fit together

Creation of documents that set out how a scene for a location is set up

Helps the actors because they know the environment their characters are in
