What is a 4 panel storyboard template?

A storyboard is a sequence of drawings that shows how your film will look, shot by shot. This 4 panel template provides large panels with plenty of room for detail, along with space to note camera moves, dialogue and action beside each frame.

Why do I need a storyboard?

Storyboarding helps you test ideas before you spend time and money on set. It helps you communicate your vision to the director of photography, actors and crew, plan coverage and spot problems early. You do not need to be a skilled artist, as simple sketches, stick figures and notes work well.

When should I use a 4 panel layout?

Choose this layout for key scenes, complex set pieces, pitches and shots where you want to show framing, lighting and movement in depth. In practice, a 4 panel layout gives each frame lots of space, so it suits detailed drawings, annotations and sequences where every shot matters.
