Google definition
Storyboarding is the process of planning for a movie or video making, that consist of numerous picture or drawings that plays out the whole video/movie. This helps the director or designer to grasp the whole idea and the whole sequence to point out and identify key points or features that can be improved or advance planning is needed.
In the field of animation or movie making, storyboard is as important as the writing itself because the storyboard is like the drawing version of the writing, it helps the production team to identify what kind of shots is better? What props is needed? How are they going to shoot the scene? Where are they going to shoot the scene?
Different types of storyboards?
Storyboard does not only consist of drawings, photographers uses photos to make storyboard, even musicians also can make a storyboard.
Example:
Photography storyboard
Music storyboard
Music storyboard does not have anything to do visually but the concept of the storyboard works the same, this type of storyboard is created by a musician named John Cage who is famous for the "4 minutes 33 seconds" musical score.
This storyboard begins as an art piece, which then the music bar is entered and given to a musician to play according to his understanding of the piece. That is what the storyboard is for
Digital Storyboarding & Illustration (Composition, Colour, Tempo and Mood)
We sat down and have a small session of learning composition, colour, tempo and mood but mainly tempo and mood. First we were introduced a music video by Woodkid - Run Boy Run
Woodkid - Run Boy Run
This is the first colourless abstract that we have to do while listening to the music only and draw out an abstract that represents our mood at that specific time
In the beginning of the song there is a gong sound that repeats itself for a few times, hearing this the image of a ripple like wave appears in the head therefore the circle at the top left corner. Then it proceed to stomping like rhythm like soldiers marching followed by a very harsh and chaotic guitar rift. The up and down lines that look like spikes are the representative of the harsh fast and chaotic guitar rifts at a certain point the song slows down into a violin sound that remind me of a river and then it goes into the harsh rifts again almost that the end the music starts to sound like it trying to push you forward like asking you to run forward at the same time a rising feel made by the increasing volume of the violin at the back of the singing.
This is the second abstract that we have to make while listening to the music only this time colour is a must
Similar to the previous exercise, this time the gong sound is replaced with think black lines solid and steady, calm mood followed by the red harsh lines. During a time the song calms back down then continue with the harsh rifts again. Blue line are the representation of the calm river at the end the volume increases with a little of the rifts in the background
The last task is to create a storyboard based on the mood during listening to the song. The storyboard that I've produced is highly influenced by the music video of the song
Here we have the storyboard done for the music, the beginning is portrayed with a montage of a person in different close shot on the leg and hands preparing for something as the scenes are just a person wearing clothing. Then proceeds to a large door in the person's perspective pushing the door opens up to a vast plain with a single long road in the middle. As the camera turns and shows the person, its a soldier preparing his army for battle. During the harsh rifts a slow mo montage of the army on horse back is riding into the target once the music then calms down from the rifts, the army looks up on the hill to find the target there standing in a cloud of darkness. With the rift picking back up the army then charges at the enemy with another slow mo freeze frame following by a black screen as we reach the volume increasing section. Only to instantly move to a scene where the army is victorious as the music ends.

Digital Storyboarding & Illustration (Learning Outcomes Reflection)
Learning Outcome No.1
As an animation student the term storyboard is a well-known term that we use everytime we do an animation however in design storyboard is also used in a way as planning a design. The storyboard here is more like a guideline that I use to follow as progress goes and can be changed as progress goes along the way. For example, the storyboard that I have created for the storyboarding task may not be the end result of the video that we are going to shoot
Digital Storyboarding & Illustrations (Storyboard)
This was the original storyboard made for the story Victorian Secret, the final video may not be as shown in the storyboard because as progress goes the idea that the storyboard had might be outclassed by the idea that we had during shooting session therefore minor changes are to be expected.

Learning Outcome No.2
2. Experiment with digital and traditional techniques in producing a storyboard
Traditionally, storyboard is made using paper and pencil as we draw out the storyboard like how I did so, but there are multiple ways to do storyboard and one of them is picture taking
A faster and more digital method of making storyboard, this method is mostly used by photographers during photoshoot to tell a story or theme.
Learning Outcome No.3
3. Employ a detailed plan and techniques of efficiently aid the construction of a digital video
In the next task making a storyboard with details on each frame to help enable faster and less hectic flow of video making
