When to use it.
Storyboard is a two-page A4 landscape storyboard for a 30-second ad or short film, the sheet a director takes to the client before the shoot. It holds twelve numbered frames, six to a page, each with a pencil-style sketch marked with camera and action arrows, the shot size, camera move, action, voiceover or dialogue, sound effects and music, the shot’s length and its running timecode. A crew header, a key to shot sizes and arrows, the running total, the shoot dates and a client sign-off line make it ready to approve.
