Storyboard in practice
Each panel represents one shot, with arrows for camera or actor movement and a line of description or dialogue underneath. Advertising productions rely on storyboards because the client approves the film on paper before paying for the shoot. Action, visual effects and animation use them to plan work that would be too costly to improvise.
A storyboard is not a shot list: the board shows what the audience will see, the list tells the crew how to capture it. Most productions keep both.
Where it lives in CrewDesk
Storyboard files are attached to the project in CrewDesk, next to the notes and the script, so the version approved by the client is the one the crew opens on set.
