What is Storyboarding?

I have explored what storyboarding is & have conducted information from my research that will ultimately help me within the process of storyboarding and help improve and establish my opening sequence substantially. 

Storyboarding within its simplest form, is the visual outline of a film. This is a useful technique during pre-production to organise the appearance of shots whilst continuing to portray narrative & also devising character concept art for your film / TV series. The image of the sketch on the left is from Disney's 'Encanto'. It is a drawing of a character named 'Isabela', in her final stages of development. Speaking of development, storyboarding is also key for post-production. As it shows your development of characters and storyline, which can be displayed to the media for publicity and recognition, or for behind the scenes. 

The clip above me is a clear example of what should be included within a storyboard. In this video each sketch has been edited together, to create the effect of stop-motion film. This storyboard is vastly thorough in comparison to a regular storyboard. Furthermore, the basics of what should be included would be multiple sketches of the scene, or whole film that convey the narrative and establishes camera angles / movement. 

Some tips of storyboarding I've found are templates. Online, there are a variety of different templates to choose from. However my favourite would be the landscape one that depicts a great foundation to build from. You are allowed the ability to sketch and apply writing below your images to express what the scene acquires. 

I think this will help our group profoundly throughout the process of developing our sequence, as often, new prospects can arise when fully deciphering the sequence via storyboard. It allows for discussion of what we like / dislike. Furthermore, helping our group come to a conclusion that we're all agreed on.
