Story Board

A storyboard is a visual aid for plotting out a story or outlining its purpose.
Storyboards are an effective visual presentation method that may be created
using specialised software, or even by hand. Basically, you could think of a
storyboard as a “comic book adaptation” of your film, video, or TV commercial
— except it’s done even before filming begins.
Whether you’re narrating a story, describing a process, or charting the passage
of time, the linear arrangement of the cells is an ideal format. Storyboards are
essentially a series of sequential illustrations that highlight important moments
in a narrative. Regardless of whether you’re creating a feature film, a children’s
animation or your best TV advertisement yet, storyboarding is key to a smooth
filming experience.
With the story segmented in this way, the writer can concentrate on each cell in
turn alongside the production crew. A strong framework can aid in maintaining
cohesion and uniformity in the narrative’s presentation to ensure that everything
written on script is translated visually.
Even better, you may show your client the points you want to make during the
different frames that you’ve created during this storyboarding process.
While film directors such as Albert Hitchcock were notorious for crafting
extremely precise storyboards, that doesn’t always have to be the case. Details
such as shot type, characters, camera movement, narration, camera positioning,
point of view, among others, should all be included in your TV commercial
storyboard.
But you don’t necessarily have to detail every single frame within every single
scene the way that Hitchcock did. You can add as many or as little detail as you
like, as long as you have the key information. We’ll get into the general idea of
how to storyboard in a later section.
Importance of Storyboard in Advertising:-
1. Easier production
Creating a high-quality storyboard may seem like a lot of extra effort, but it will
be invaluable during pre-production. The use of a film storyboard can prevent
you from spending time and money on unneeded extra video production or even
adding special effects to fix filming mistakes.

2. Time-saving
In order to make adjustments, one only needs to rearrange, redraw or remove a
single card on a storyboard as opposed to rewriting an entire illustration or
shooting an entire scene from scratch. Time and resources are conserved when it
is possible to make adjustments in advance.
3. A powerful visual aid
Throughout the production of a film, storyboards are utilised as a visual
reference tool. With a storyboard, you may plan out how you want to frame the
subject, record any action, move the camera ahead of time and ensure the script
is followed correctly and recorded for each frame
When developing a storyboard, be sure that you translate all of the necessary
shots for the commercial into drawing form. Then, be sure to execute each shot
exactly as intended in terms of framing and shooting — drawing from the
storyboard as a guide.
4. Creates consistency
Shot lists help you stay on top of a complex shoot and get the footage you need
before you even dive into initial filming. Organising this information in the
form of a storyboard provides you with an even more useful resource for
handling a demanding shoot day.
5. Organize Thoughts
Making a storyboard helps you condense all the ideas bouncing around head
into one coherent, fleshed-out vision. we can use the storyboards as a reference
during production to member all your great ideas.
Apart from that, we can use storyboards to test different ideas, camera angles,
and cuts without losing your vision. By the time we’re ready to begin filming,
we’ll have a concrete idea that we can easily communicate.
6. Identify Problems Early
Much like dress rehearsals, storyboards gets you one step closer to perfection in
final video. It reveals problems and weaknesses that you may not have noticed
until production or post-production – at which points it might be too expensive
to fix. For example, you may realize that you need more props, visual effects, or
equipment than you anticipated.
