storyboard

A storyboard is a visual planning tool used to outline a narrative, often in film, animation, advertising, or other visual media. It consists of a series of sketches or images arranged in sequence, representing scenes or key moments of a story. Each frame usually includes notes about dialogue, actions, and camera angles. By laying out these visuals, creators can organize their ideas, visualize the flow of the story, and communicate their vision to others involved in the project. Essentially, storyboards serve as a roadmap for bringing a story to life.
