Storyboards

Storyboards are one of the best ways to explain your vision to your colleges

In many instances a visual aid is one of the best ways to explain what is going on inside your head. Sometimes you just can't find the words to explain yourself however if you have an image or a reference then you can often explain yourself much better. In production it makes it easier as you don't have to explain fully what it will look like as your colleges can see the picture and map how you want it too look.

Storyboards save you time.

It may take you a while to draw the storyboard however in the long run it will save you a lot of time later in the project. A Storyboard will give you all the shots you will need in one place and the order in which they will be laid out. It also makes editing easier as the editor knows what shots that you want to use in a sequence.
