Storyboard: definition
A storyboard describes a video scene by scene before it is produced: for each scene, what the voice says, what the picture shows and how long it lasts.
In practice
A training video storyboard often fits in a table:
| Scene | Voice | Picture | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | “Friday, 5:50 p.m. Your CEO calls.” | A ringing phone, the time | 6 s |
| 2 | “Is it really him?” | A question mark over the handset | 4 s |
| 3 | “Hang up, call back on a known number.” | The two actions, drawn | 8 s |
It is the right time to correct: changing a sentence in a storyboard costs nothing; changing it in a filmed video costs a lot.
And with EducPilot?
The assistant produces the storyboard once the plan is approved: every scene, its text, its drawings, and the source of each sentence. The storyboard and its revisions are free; minutes are only counted when the video is generated.
