1. What and Whys for Storyboards
You can think of a storyboard as a visual outline of your project. A storyboard helps you plan for your project because you draw out in detail all the elements. It also helps you to communicate with others about your ideas.
"Story-Boarding is a popular management tool to facilitate the creative-thinking process and can be likened to taking your thoughts and the thoughts of others and spreading them out on a wall as you work on a project or solve a problem” (Cave, no date).
Storyboards take many different forms. A simple storyboard may be a flowchart, a table, an outline while a more complicated storyboard for multimedia development may include a detailed description of the visual elements such as text, graphics, video and animation (Orr, Golas, & Yao, 1993). It will also include the sequence and what will occur simultaneously.
