Storyboard is like a miniature version of your final film. It comprises of sequential visuals similar to a comic book and it acts as a blue print for your film. It’s a plan that depicts your script through visuals.
It’s the most important stage of preproduction and it helps the director visualize the details of his film prior to the production stage. The most important role of the storyboard is that it acts as a communication tool to exchange ideas and convey the story efficiently between the Director, Producer and the entire team.
While doing storyboard one can decide on the staging of the character and composition of their shots. This will help them later while animating the final shots.
This storyboard may go through various changes further after discussions among the team till the storyboard is refined. The refinement of the storyboard helps in making the production process much smoother.
