Storyboarding is a key part of making and shooting a film. The Storyboarder will draw a 'cartoon style' version of the shots in rectangular they want to capture for each scene. It helps them to visualise what they want the scenes to look like when they come to the filming. It is likely that the filming won’t be exactly as the shots are drawn on the storyboard, for example they may have been drawn too far to one side or too tight to the frame, however, it will be the ‘building blocks’ of the filming and the shots, in most cases, will be very similar to the shots that have been mapped out. Without the Storyboard the film makers will be filming the scene from scratch and may not get such an effective film as they won't have spent time thinking about what they want it to look like and the effect they are trying to get.
I have chosen to storyboard the opening scene of James Bond ‘Casino Royale’. I have drawn each frame from the first 40 seconds. Below is a copy of my storyboard.
