Use of storyboards

When created a piece of media storyboards are essential for a number of reasons. Not only does it visually give the team working on it an idea of what order it will go in and the number of shots that will be needed, but, it also gives a clear image of how the director invisions the scene to look when it is transferred from paper to camera, can give an idea into making a shooting schedule so that everything is done in the most efficient and simple way that it can be. The overall way to express why storyboards are useful is that "A storyboard is a graphic organizer in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence"

Here is a breakdown of the reasons a storyboard is useful:

Best way to express a vision

A visual aid makes it much easier for you to share and explain your vision for your video with others.

We’ve all had experiences where we were trying to explain something and the other person just can’t see your vision. The core of this issue is that most stakeholders don’t have the experience of visualizing something off of a text deliverable, such as a script.
When you have a storyboard, you can show people exactly how your video is going to be mapped out and what it will look like. This makes it infinitely easier for other people to understand your idea.

Saves you alot of time
While it may take you a little while to put your storyboard together, in the long run it will save you time in revisions later. Not only will it help you explain your vision to your team, it will also make the creation process go more smoothly.

Makes production easier
When you storyboard a video you’re setting up a plan for production, including all the shots you’ll need, the order that they’ll be laid out, and how the visuals will interact with the script.
The storyboard is a starting point or suggested thoroughline around which you can plan your coverage (all the angles you will shoot of a scene). This really comes in handy when you’re making your video, as it ensures you won’t forget any scenes and helps you piece together the video according to your vision.
