storyboard

                   A storyboard is a graphical representation of the camera shots in a film sequence which are connected together to create a 'narrative flow'. It is similar in appearance to a comic-strip. The story of the film is visualised by a series of drawings which depict the location, characters, props and setting of each shot. Beneath the images there are captions detailing action, camera directions, lighting direction and sometimes basic dialogue.

But if you use storyboards, it becomes so much easier to communicate your visual and dramatic ideas"
