What is the purpose of a storyboard?

• A. To map the project's budget and timeline.
• B. To illustrate a sequence of moving images and provide guidance on filming and editing.
• C. To log final delivery formats.
• D. To list marketing channels.

Answer: (B)

A storyboard is a planning tool that maps out the sequence of moving images for a film or video. It shows each shot as a frame and includes notes about how the camera should be positioned, framed, and moved, as well as what happens in the action and where edits will occur. This helps everyone involved—director, cinematographer, and editor—visualize the flow, plan the timing, and coordinate filming and editing before production starts. It’s specifically about arranging how the visuals unfold on screen, not about budgeting and scheduling, final delivery formats, or marketing channels.
