Storyboards
Storyboards are graphic organizers such as a series of illustrations or pictures displayed in series for the purpose of previsualizing a motion explicit or interactive media sequence, plus website interactivity.
The process of building storyboards, in the form it is known today, was created at the Walt Disney studio in the early 1930s, after several years and attempts of similar processes being used at Walt Disney and other animation studios.
The storyboarding process can be very tiresome and complicated. The storyboards form widely known today was urbanized at the Walt Disney studio in the early 1930s.
According to Christopher Finch in The Art of Walt Disney (Abrams, 1973), Disney credited animator Webb Smith with creating the idea of sketching scenes on different sheets of paper and lining them up on a notice board to tell a story in order, thus creating the first storyboard.
One of the first live action films to be completely in storyboards was Gone with the Wind. William Cameron Menzies, the film's production designer, was hired by David Selznik to design every single shot of the film. Many huge budget silent films were also on storyboards later but most of this material has been lost during the reduction of the studio archives during the 1970s.
A very common misconception is that storyboards are not used in the theaters. Storyboards are special tools that directors and playwrights frequently use to understand the layout of the scene.

One great advantage of using storyboards is that it allows the user to experiment with changes in the action to suggest stronger reaction or interest. Flashbacks, for instance, are often the result of sorting storyboards out of chronological order to help build suspense and interest. The process of visual thinking and planning allows a group of people to brainstorm together, placing their ideas on storyboards and then arranging the storyboards on the wall. This develops more ideas and generates agreement inside the group.
