Purpose of a Storyboard

The purpose of storyboarding:
Storyboarding is the graphic organization of every scene or sequence in a film that will be created by animators — a storyboard is, in effect, a giant comic. The main purpose of storyboarding is to previsualize what will ultimately appear onscreen, kind of like a sketched rough draft of the final product which uses minimal dialogue and is usually done in black and white. And storyboarding isn’t limited to animation: video game and website designers also use the process to map their layouts, as do live action filmmakers and television directors employing heavy sequences of computer graphics. Films like Gone with the Wind, The Matrix, and The Lord of the Rings all utilized storyboarding during the filming process. The process has also gained popularity in advertising for the purpose of finalizing the concepts of commercials.
