Text Film it! Storyboards

TLF ID M024863

Storyboards are shot-by-shot visual plans that show what a film will look like before the film is shot. The storyboard acts as a visual guide to the team shooting the film. This series of activities will explain what storyboards are used for, why they are important, and how to create them. Activities increase in difficulty according to the experience and knowledge of the students from novice level to more experienced. Students can opt to create storyboards by hand or use a free digital storyboarding tool called Storyboarder.
