Topic 1--Lesson I--What is Storyboarding?
Creating storyboards is a frequently unnoticed element. For many students, storyboarding may seem like a monotonous additional step. However, storyboarding can be a valuable element in the creative process by allowing the student or teacher to arrange images and text in an outline manner before the development process begins. Storyboards allows the user to visualize how the plan will be put together and help illustrate what holes are present since they can see the entire plan laid out in front of them. It’s just like a blue print for a house or a building. Storyboarding can also encourage new ideas as well as lets the student or teachers reorganize their thoughts before the final development begins for the project and changes may be harder to make.
The significant thing about storyboards is that they give you a way to decide how you will split up your project into individual sections, either with or without placeholder images, so that you can then get a clear and big picture of what your storyboard idea is.
