Creating Your Video

A storyboard is a sequential series of images and captions that provides an outline of your film story, as seen through the camera lens. Storyboards visually map out and provide a synopsis of your film, providing direction for camera movements and shot types.

Before you start filming, it's important to think about how you will frame your shots, light your scenes, and capture crisp audio.
