Storyboard scripts and scenes

A storyboard is a hand-drawn map of every shot in a film, made before the camera is ever switched on. Each square (a frame) shows what the audience will see, who is in the shot, what is happening, and what is being said. A clear storyboard turns a written script into a plan a whole crew can follow.
