BLK - Reasons to use a storyboard

Why is a storyboard an essential part of the film making process?

-Acts as an outline for the film
-Allows you to visualise the script/screenplay
-Allows you to decide on the shot sequence, lighting directions, camera directions and the movement of actors
-Illustrates how the narrative progresses
-Makes it easy to understand how a scene plays out
-Easy to create a "flow" of images
-Can discuss the "look" of the film before filming even starts
-Each specific shot can be carefully modified and adjusted
-Allows actors to give a more convincing performance if they know how the scene plays out
-Can be given to each technician so everyone knows how what their role is and where everything goes
-Acts as a visual reminder of what order the film progresses in in post-production
-Film editors have to use this so they know where each effect goes and when
-Allows directors to try out different shot types and the effects they have on the audience
-Ensures that everyone has something to work with
