What is a good storyboard?
A good storyboard includes expressing an idea on paper, with
clear drawings of the key frames in the story and a caption underneath to
explain the actions of the frames. You should be able to visually show what the
character/s are doing or thinking in each key-frame and then to add a small
description of their emotions/ thoughts or the motions that they’re doing in
that part of the story. Another thing to make sure to do in a storyboard is to
show how the camera moves between the frames and this will help with the
staging of the scene, which will allow the main action to be in the centre of
the camera view. Audio can also be incorporated into a storyboard with when you
want to cue the music; the pauses you want to add for anticipation and when the
speech might be said during the frames. When creating a storyboard, you should
think about everything that’s included so that your idea can be fully
solidified on paper before starting the production of the animation and this
will also help you to see if the story of the idea works overall before
starting the project.
