• you can see what will work and what wont work it lets you make mistakes before you go and do it for real witch wont only save you time but also money 

why are storyboards important for after the filming process?

• it is very rare that the editor will be on set for the film so the storyboard for them is a big indicator of what the rest of the film is going to look like 
• this will be a big guide for them visually 

what should you include on your story board?

• the location of the shots
• what sound you would have in the specific shots
• what action is going on in the scene 
• the shot number however you must do this at the very very end so you can move things around and change things 
• what kind of lighting you want to have and specific lighting moments 
• timing 
• Finally any transitions you want to include
