What is a storyboard, and which type should I pick?

The three types

You pick the type when creating the board:

• Basic: order your shots quickly, without much detail.
• Advanced: when each shot needs more description than a line.
• Cinematic: works in scenes, each holding its own shots. Suits work built scene by scene rather than shot by shot.

Which to choose

The practical rule: start with the simplest that works. Basic is enough for most single-channel videos. Cinematic earns its overhead when the piece genuinely has scenes, rather than a sequence of shots.

A board more detailed than you need is a board abandoned after day one.

Attaching to a shoot day

Storyboard shots attach to a shoot day, turning the day's plan into a shot list you work through in order instead of remembering.
