•Storyboards enable directors to turn the script from written information to a visual source
• It enables the director to visualise the flow of camera shots, and exactly how the shot will look (mis-en-scene, framing, characters etc.)
• The director can see what sets or props are needed
• Storyboards help with deciding the sequence of shots and scenes
• The most effective lighting can be decided on
• The finished storyboard can then be used in discussions and in production briefings, before shooting
• Storyboards are essential for designers, such as the production or set designer, in planning the sets or costumes
• A visual representation of a shot means that there will be less misunderstandings during discussion– it is an important tool of communication
• Special-effects supervisors will be able to say if the director’s ideas are realisable
• Through story-boards, the director can show where the emphasis should be in the shot– what should be shot close-up, or what elements aren't that important to the development of the story, so therefore don't need to take up so much room in the frame
• Storyboards can be used like kit-lists, for the crew, so that everything that is needed can be prepared
• In post-production, storyboards are used as reminders for editors and special-effects teams
