BLK Homework: The Importance of Storyboarding

The reasons that storyboarding is important are:
  • So that they know if the film flows or not and the director can visualise it.
  • They have a clear idea of the narrative.
  • So that the producers don't waste their time with unnecessary shots: they know exactly what they need so it is more time and cost efficient - it would waste so much time if the directors had to stand around deciding everything as they are shooting the fim.
  • It is easier to see whether the directors ideas are going to work on screen.
  • It means that it is easier for the director to decide what the lighting should be like and how the acting should be done as they have a rough idea of what to work from.
  • It reduces the time that the actors are needed for so it saves paying them more money.
  • The actors peformances will be more convincing as they know what they need to react to and exactly where they should move to.
  • It's an important piece of communication between the members of the film crew as it provides a clear outline for everyone to work from.
  • It helps the production team with the order of shots and then after shooting it is easier for them to know what has or hasn't been filmed.
  • Before production it allows the production team to sit down and talk about how they are going to make each shot work so that they all have a clear idea of what they need to do.
  • The set designers/costume designers know what they need to do and it allows them to get everything oprganised before shooting.
