Pre-Production Storyboards

fogofwar_storyboard.jpg

      Story boards are a sequence of drawings that are usually with directions and dialogue.  They are showing the shots and ideas planned for a film.  These are completed before the filming is done.  They are graphic organizers so that the ideas of the film can more easily and fully be understood by everyone.  Storyboards can also show the cinematography that is wanted in the film; this can help the editors to know what was intended.  

      Storyboards are created so that the images and illustrations and written words can be displayed in a way that can help everyone to pre-visualize the film before it is filmed.  Obviously the entire film isn't going to be displayed within these simple storyboards, but they do give the basic idea of what needs to be done.  The dialogue especially in storyboards might not be completely correct.  They are more intended for the organization of shots and footage.
