Storyboarding
is becoming increasingly popular in the work place today. In case you are
unaware of the storyboarding process, it 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 (wikepedia definition). It is a great way to get ideas onto paper and easily allows the artist to move sequences around and not be stuck to one specific order.
Below is an example of a storyboard I put together with a group for my Consumer Behavior class. This is an example of a finished product that is ready to present.
Storyboarding is a great way to get rough and ugly (this is good in brainstorming) ideas down on paper and visualize what is going on. It allows your mind to see what is going on and make adjustments accordingly. We also found that there were pieces missing once we looked at the story as a whole and were easily able to add another block showing what we wanted.
Each storyboard has a different number of scenes depending on the length and detail of the story you are trying to depict. I found this technique to be very helpful, as I am a very visual person and I like seeing things in chronological order to put everything together in my mind. If you have never tried this technique of brainstorming, I highly recommend it. You never know what might come of your little story on a few pieces of paper!
