Filmmakers begin their project by creating storyboards. A storyboard looks like a cartoon strip and contains pictures of the main events in sequence. Hitchcock was famous for being a perfectionist at storyboarding. He was so detailed about drawing the storyboards that he considered that phase to be the actual process of making the film. For him actual filming was just an obligation. The making of the storyboards was where most of the creative work took place. As his storyboards determined exactly what the shot would look like, production for Hitchcock, then, was simply a matter of creating live versions of the storyboards he'd already made.
Spielberg, on the other hand, has been known to hire armies of artists to do it. Now, thanks to new technologies, even the most basic videomaker can make use of it. In fact, if you don't do it you could be getting yourself into a lot of problems. Storyboarding helps visualizing the plot of the movie before it is being filmed. It reduces time spent in undirected discussion and allows to share ideas in a group. Most of all it contributes to making the quality of the final animation much better.
Storyboard = an excellent tool for planning a production (Pre-Visualize the idea)+ tool for communication with others (Clearest Language)
Directions:
Most storyboards are rendered with a fast, easily controlled medium such as pencil, ink and charcoal dust or dry marker.
1. Introduce the set of the story. Draw a picture of the set and main character.
2. Draw in sequences what happens next. Add caption below the sequences.
