Storyboards act as a universal reference point, ensuring everyone understands the director’s vision, as it turns abstract script ideas into tangible images, clarifying scene composition , camera angles and character blocking. It's the essential roadmap that aligns the entire crew—from directors to camera operators—on the intended look, feel, and flow of the final project.
A well-executed storyboard can be an effective tool for pitching a film to potential investors, as it provides a tangible vision of the final product.
