[Grammatical interpretation of editing] The third stage: understanding the storyboard for the first time.

Storyboard, English name is Storyboard. Storyboard is to sketch the lens constantly in the pre-production stage of the film, so that the creator can briefly explain the final framing and lens movement to the members of the production team before shooting. Comic storyboard is the basis and blueprint for photographers to shoot and edit post-production.

But in the introduction of some encyclopedias on the Internet, storyboards and shots have the same meaning, and they are really the same in essence. Both of them are used for communication between members of the production team, but the interpretation of these two words in the book is different. The lens will include lens number, scene, lens movement, lens angle, picture content and other items. The content of the picture is usually drawn or described according to the commentary or script, and the shot has no fixed format framework. The standards adopted by different production groups may be different, but as long as the director's intention is clearly expressed and the story is clearly told, storyboards generally do not have information such as dialogue, the number of shots, the movement of shots, etc. Some even like comics, storyboards consume more time and energy than lens splitting, and generally involve disaster films, fantasy films, action films and other pictures.

Many people will think of comics when they see storyboards for the first time, but compared with comics, storyboards will take into account the final effect of factors such as scenery, shooting angle and shooting technique. The content of the picture should be as detailed as possible, and the lens should choose a more attractive perspective to guide the audience's thinking direction and emotions. Because comics are free and flexible, besides telling stories with pictures, they also pay attention to typesetting, which needs to make readers more comfortable to read. Moreover, there are few specific descriptions of characters' actions in comics, and there are many close-ups of characters. Finally, the biggest difference between storyboards and comics lies in the way of switching between multiple different shots.
