When you're putting storyboards together, you want to make sure you get at least one frame for
each different shot within each scene. Some scenes might have one or two frames and some
might have 20. It should give you the visual clues you need to put the finishing touches on
your shooting script and a semi-solid shooting plan.
Generally, you need to boil down what is happening in the entire shot into a single picture.
This won't look like a finished comic book, but will indicate, without words, exactly what action
will occur in that scene. This might indicate a camera pan with arrows or join two scenes
together.
They need not be an example of fine art, but it should be apparent to anyone what is supposed
to be happening. You may include with these some basic directions, or a general outline of
what's happening, but when you're putting them together, it should be obvious (to you at least)
what is going on.
One trick, when using storyboards to assemble a shooting plan is to cut them into individual
frames and to physically put them into order. This can help you get a visual handle on how
your shooting is going to proceed, and make you better able to convey that information to your
cast.
