STORYBOARDING
I am getting close to having to do it so I am going to have to look a bit into it.
Anyway, quick summary of a storyboard. It is another way of outlining a film but it is a little more detailed, the outline itself is also mainly focused on the visuals and its mainly created with dialogue already in mind, or at least the blocks of the way the scene plays out. This can be whether characters win or lose something or simply a simple task they might be enacting in the moment. Each shot is created and drawn so people can see how the shots work in succession and see what they need to change ahead of time.
Storyboarding is needed because it is a great way of organizing the shoots when actually filming so you see what is left. It also lets you expand on the intricacies of the film without doing in the moment and instead in a calm environment. For example the blocking of a scene can be changed to be more impactful ahead of time instead of having the idea mid shoot and not knowing any way of how to do it in the moment.
Creating a storyboard is then pretty simple; as seen in the pictures above it is mainly just shots drawn out in sequential order of how they will appear in the film. But there are a few things that can be done to elevate the quality of the storyboard. One of them being having descriptions of what happens in the shot and of how the shot changes or possibly moves in the scene. This gives a better idea of how the shots flow together and of how the final product is going to look. The other is to put the dialogue into the shots as well, this essentially does the same thing but more with the characters; having the dialogue there gives insight into where the characters might be placed throughout the course of the scene.
