What exactly is a storyboard?

A storyboard is a graphic illustration of your script used to pre-visualize the video. In simpler terms, it’s a blueprint for your corporate video production. It shows how you intend on communicating your video’s message during the pre-production stage, before you get to the production stage.

Most people think having a well written script is all they need. A script and storyboard essentially both tell a story, but in a different way. A script uses written words, while a storyboard uses images. That’s why a script and storyboard should be considered as two separate elements.

Building a great storyboard doesn’t take great artistic skill. Drawing even stick figures works just fine, since this process is about transitioning the great ideas from your head onto paper or even your tablet.
