How to make a Storyboard?

A storyboard doesn't have to be an elaborate work of art. Crafting the perfect story starts with a great template. With our easy-to-use storyboards, you will be able to create a visually stunning story that will engage and captivate your audience.

Here is how to make one:

  1. Download and modify a Storyboard template: Draw a series of rectangles on a piece of paper, as if you were creating a comic strip, and also leave room for notes or lines of the script under each rectangle.
  2. Add your script: under each rectangle, write the line of script or dialogue that corresponds to that scene.
  3. Sketch out an interesting story line: indicate movement with an arrow of basic figures. A bad drawing is better than no drawing! Alternatively, you may use existing images and paste them into the story.
  4. Add Notes to the story for players/readers: For each scene, you need to place some keynotes, a description of what’s happening, camera angles or movement, and any special effects. (including audio like music or sound effects). Background details will be useful to make sure the role is performed well by the actors.

Finally, don't be overcautious when you pick a storyboards. Here are a few more storyboarding tips:

  • Have a look what's available and make sure it's in line with your needs.
  • Don't be afraid to draw quickly and sloppily in beginning, especially if you feel inspired and need to get your ideas down on paper.
  • Trial and error is key. It's normal to go back and forth while you are working on your ideas on storyboards, it's all part of the process.
  • Don't forget to have fun with your storyboards, they are actually the perfect tool for letting your imagination work.
  • It's common to use rectangles in the same aspect ratio as video, like: 16:9, then number each rectangle for easy reference in discussions.
  • Make use of standard shot types used in the video before you start editing.
  • Visualize your story in 3D, although you are used to make 2D drawings in the beginning. 
  • Make subjects/objects in the background smaller, so they appear further away.
  • Cut and reassemble your storyboards to experiment with sequencing and narrative.
  • Use the finished storyboard to create a master shot list. When you work in this way, chances are that nothing will be overlooked during production.
  • Keep the storyboard as simple as possible, so everybody will understands it, 
  • Be sure to share the finished product with everyone involved after its final cut!

The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer. | Nolan Bushnell
