Storyboards in Film Editing

For complex film editing storyboards are an effective and quick way of getting an idea of how you might better visualize the final process. While a fair amount of artistic skill is required for large studio production houses like Disney, Marvel Studios, Pixar, Lucas Films, etc. it is not always a requirement.

Often pre-shot footage can be first seen than planned out through storytelling before the actual editing begins. This provides a blue print for the finish product. Storyboards are comprised of a combination of visual imagery and descriptive text.
