Purpose of a Storyboard
A storyboard can be used to help you plan a story. It helps you show what is going to happen in your story, you can tell your story by using pictures and writing as you need to make sure your story has a beginning, a middle and an end.
Storyboards are used in production for any type of moving image production for example Games, music videos, TV shows or films. It can be made by either drawing it or it being done in a digital form.
Storyboarding is important to help create the film as it helps to put your ideas to life as it shows the ideas of the film to come into real life, However it can have a high chance of turning out as something that you don't want it to be.
Storyboards were used a lot during the 1970-1980 when films started to become popular as before they would just stretch out boxes and write under it.
Characteristics of a Storyboard

Storyboard in a game
Storyboarding in a game is a very important to do from creating your main villain and your main character as it shows what your game will be about as it is a way of showing your ideas in real life because it's a visual way of you designing your game plot/story by having lots of different colours, scenes, items, gameplay functionality and more. It can also be a good way to be able to use it in the design process of making your game. When you storyboard for a game, you would like to be able to indicate what the characters can do inside of the game and of the most important things you can do is that you are able to control your characters which is also a good thing because from what was drawn we will be able to see what the characters are going to do in the game. Also, the characters have no control over the scene itself, therefore the techniques that you have used for storyboarding then depend on the actions on your game.
Storyboarding a game helps you a lot as your basically doing a plan for whatever type of game thatt you want to make as the person who is drawing and possibly creating the game will sketch out all of these ideas and then place them in the most correct order. Furthermore, with storyboarding it can allow you to be critical but focus on the main details and to edit the basics of what you are creating as well. For a storyboard creating characters is very important as you decide what they are going to be doing in the game, they have to make sure these characters look different from each other and act different as well because if they don't act different and look the same it will be boring for the audience and that isn't good at all as it will look presentable.
Storyboarding in a Documentary
Storyboarding for a documentary is important because a documentary has to be a required amount of time for example one hour meaning that the shots will be split up in many different scenes, so if someone is sketching this out it will be long but easy for them to do as they need to know what is in the scene. Whilst planning your shots that you want to be able to get on your camera as it is a documentary it will require a lot of shots which will then require so many sketches. For example, if your doing a documentary on the internet you may want to do many different types of camera angles and shots.
In general, the purpose of a documentary is that you have report something that actually happened it can be shown by using lots of different footage so for storyboarding the purpose would be for all the sketches to have to be able to report something on a specific topic. This would then be good for all the people in the world who watch documentaries or even the people who watch mockumenary as they are entertained by those.
As a documentary is very long the purpose for you to be able to draw out the shots very effectively as you have to draw up the shots for the interview part of the documentary as you might have to draw out many different camera shots and different camera angles to really show the documentary in a professional form and you also have to get a list of questions as well as that is what most documentaries have which is good. By planning out the documentary shot by shot this will then meet the intended purpose of a documentary as the purpose of a documentary is for the audience to be entertained and to know what is going on with what they are watching because if the audience are enjoying it then people will hear about it and then watch the documentary.
The purpose of a documentary varies though on what type of genre it is and what type of film maker made it as well because usually for documentaries they all talk about different topics for example changing society or about knife crime or just something that is very important in the world at that given moment. The main reason for a documentary is so that you bring light to a certain crisis or cause that is happening with hope that by doing this documentary something will change. For other documentaries you an tell that they just want to entertain the audience in some way these are the stories about humans, these type of documentaries allows the audience to then make there own judgement on what they had just watched. Another purpose for a documentary can be to educate the audience as there could be a documentary on a very important person and it can educate the younger audience
Storyboarding in a Film
Storyboarding in a film is very important as it helps you plan out the film with the shots being drawn and the captions under it. It is very important for the pre-production process because it shows how the story of the film will be planned out and flow throughout the whole storyboard as then you will see how all of the shots that you have taken work out with each other. This is very good as this will mean you are able to get a good representation of how your film will actually look and this then makes it easier for the production team to work with the content and the graphics. The purpose of a storyboard in a film would be that you have to make sure that the film is entertaining towards everyone as when this happens you would then make a lot of profit as you have created a film that is appealing and entertains towards the everyone in the world.
Also having a storyboard would mean that it is better for the actors as it is easier for them to follow as in what to do in the film as these actors have been illustrated and can really commutate the production of the film. This means that it will make producing the film easier for all of the people working on the film as well for example the Director, actors and lots more.
Storyboarding in a Music Video
Storyboarding in a music video is created to promote the music/single created by the artist and to advertise the music to people so storyboarding in a music video would require the shots to be advertised and it also helps to gain interest from the public. in general music videos are made and used in a very effectively way of marketing and this marketing intending to then promote the sale of the music videos. Music videos are used shot by shot with many different camera angles and different camera shots for example close up shots medium close up shots and many more.
Music videos have several interpretations as to what their purpose is by it is usually to promote an artist/band for their new music. It is a great way for other people around the world to then listen to the music. The camera man will be able to shoot every scene and so the camera will then be able to get everybody and everyone will get an idea of what will be in this music video. Furthermore, lots of profit will be made from these music videos.

This went on to make lots of money and become very popular
Storyboarding in a TV Show
Storyboarding is important in a TV show because it helps you plan how many episodes you are going to have for the TV show. It also helps to tell the story in the best way in an allocated timeline for all of the scenes as for example if one of the episodes in the TV show are around 25 minutes this will mean you need to plan what will be in these 25 minutes for how many shots will be there and what camera movements, angles will all be used for this TV show. Having a storyboard for a TV show will also help to breakdown all of the episodes on the TV show as it will show all of the key scenes, how the setting will look as when you are sketching that out for a show in general you need to know where the TV show will be set in meaning you have to plan it very effectively.
Also you will also have to draw out all of the scene to show all the characters and how the action will then take place. The purpose of a storyboard in a TV show would be to entertain the audience as the show is in a storyboard form before created into actual TV.
Here is an example of a storyboard in a TV show
This is an example of TV show in a storyboard. In this storyboard you can tell whoever drew this was very good at drawing and when they wrote there captions they explained what is going on into in the shots. It also talks about the camera angles and camera shots that has been used in this storyboard. Also, you can see that that the scene has broken up to then be able to explain it more effectively, this then helps to entertain the audience and get ready for later episodes that will then be released.

Features of a Game in a storyboard
For a game in a storyboard it would need lots of features to then look presentable and then fit the purpose for the audience. One feature that has to be in a game is the amount of levels as if that isn't in the game the people playing it wouldn't be able to play the game to it's full potential as they won't know how many levels the game has to complete. This can then be a very bad thing for the audience as they won't want to play the game and then it wouldn't get any reviews. Another feature of a game that needs to be in a storyboard for when your creating a game is called the inteventory items for the game this mans what some of the charcters have used or what they do use whilst inside of the game, this then makes the game more interesting. An additional feature that is needed in a game is for when you need to have a lot of players for the game, for example if it is a fighting game it will then have like 8 players on each side and then you would have to pick from all of them
The features of games have to be very accurate for any type of game as you would like to have all of the good features in the games for example like a real friends list so then you can play with all of your friends in the game. This will then be good as the games will be used in a good way and the audience will enjoy it as well.
Features of a documentary in a storyboard
In a documentary they have lots of features this would then be good for the people who have to create a storyboard. one of te features is that there is a voice over as in a documentary whilst they are explaining what has happened there is a voice over so this will be in the storyboard on the part you have to explain what just happened in the scene. Another feature would be the direct and indirect interviews that all happen during the docummentary this when also go down to the part where u have to draw a person getting interviewed or basically getting questions that need to be answered. An additional feature is the archival footage this means the footag that has been archived from a documentary to then show historical events or helps to then add detail towards the documentary that the audience will be viewing.
In terms for a storyboard this will be good as it will help show the documentary because then the audience will be able to know what the documentry is about. as the feature called expostion this will then be what has been done in the start and then is introduced with all of the themes in the film. This is then important because it then helps to create a first impression and introduces the viewer to the content and what is going on in the documentary.
Features of a film in a storyboard
In a film there is a lot of features that has to be in the storyboard for when creating the film for example, the characters there roles as we don't know what they are going to do in the film unless there is a plot to the film already planned out. Another feature of a film is the sound, this has to be used very well inside of a film and it can decide on what genre the film will be in as if it is very upbeat then it could be an action film,horror, thriller. This is also has an effect on the audience for the film to be intense which some audiences like in there films. An additional feature of a film for a storyboard is the structure of the film meaning what will be happening at the start of the film, the middle of the film and the ending. These need to be included in a storyboard as the perosn who is drawing out the shots for the film in general can then stick to the structure that is being created for any storyboard.
In general films have to follow a pattern of:
exposition
conflict
rising action
climax
falling action
resolution
In the storyboard if this isn't involved then it wouldnt be a very good film as with this film structure the film will be more interesting to watch for everyone.
Features of a Music video in a storyboard
In a music video there are also a lot of features that a storyboard needs to include. For example, the close uo=ps on the artists to show how they are rapping also like a medium shot or a high angle or any camera movment or camera angle the music video needs but in terms of storyboarding under the pictures for these music videos it will then be a camera shot or angle stating what is going on for example a low angle shot on the building then the musician comes in and starts to sing with models around him. Another feature that can be for a music video is the visuals that the video has and if they are telling a story and work with what lyrics have then been said inside of the music video as there could be a relationship between the music and the visuals that are happening in the song. For example in a song by The Wanted which is called Walk like Rhianna at one point in the music video the beat of the song changes so then it coordinates with the flashing light on the screen in the music video.
"For example in a song by The Wanted which is called Walk like Rhianna at one point in the music video the beat of the song changes so then it coordinates with the flashing light on the screen". (Slideshare.net 2013)
One of the most important features for a music video would be the location this is very important as it helps the creator (the person who is drawing) of the storyboard really then set out his vision and make sure that the scenes are set out well because usually in music videos the scenery changes meaning the person sketching is going to need to know what to do.
Features of a TV show in a storyboard
In a tv Show there are many features that will then need to be included if you are going to make one. For example of a feature would be the storyline for the tv show. The storyline is an very important feature as it will show to the audience if it worth watching or not. It can also show if the purpose is being met as the purpose for a tv show is to entertain the audience so then they engage into the tv show and are excited to then see the next episode. In terms of this feature being related to storyboarding this would then go below the picture for the storyboard as it will be explaining what is going on in each episode. However, the writer/creator of the storyboard will need to know to what the tv show is going to be about and what has to be put in the episodes.
Another feature would be the characters in the tv show as the wrtier/creator of the storyboard would need to know what the characters look like and what they will be doing in each episode to then make it easier for the creator. The acting as well is a feature in any type of storyboard because the writer/creator needs to know what the characters will be doing in each of the pictures and how they will be acting as well. The dialogue for the tv episode also has to then be believable as then it will be good for the audience because it is fitting the purpose because when creating something in general, the audience would want it to be believable so they may relate to it or would then be more interested in the tv show, another way this is good because the tv show will then become popular as the ratings will go up and everyone will start watching it.

The use of a storyboard in a game will be used very effectively as it can present how the game will look at the start and end whilst you keep on drawing out everything for the game. The sketcher will draw out ideas for characters and scenes and then they place these scenes in order. This then helps to met the ourpose of a game as it has everything every game should then have for example every signle game should have a structure to it meaning that the levels are in the correct order, the game is set up correctly or the characters look like how they are supposed to look like this helps to meet the purpose of a game in general.
For the sketcher of the storyboard this will include a sequence of screens in which the characters inside of the game have to face the challengers, this is also another way the purpose is met for a game as this makes the game more entertaining and the purpose for a game is for it to entertain the audience. Another purpose for a game is to help us develop our practical skills and it can also be a form of exercise in terms of storyboard designs this can easily met the purpose as the sketcher just had to be creative with the game that he or she is trying to make. The features of a game and purpose works very well together as it helps to show the purpose of a game towards the creator of the storyboard designs, this then means it will then be easier for the sketcher to put the game to life.
The use of a storyboard in a documentary will be make it easier for the sketcher to put the documentary to life as they will be able to show all the aspects of a documentary which are: voice over, the interview part, location shots, music and sound, archive footage and the graphics. These key elements of a docummentary need to be included inside of the storyboard otherwise it doesn't help to meet the purpose and the use of this documentary will be pointless and these elements have mentioned makes sure that the documentary is good. In addition to this the use of a documentary in the storyboard makes the sketcher's job much easier as all they have include all of these features then it should be easy to create this storyboard
The purpose of a documentary is to basically entertain and make the audience sastified in some way, these key important (must have) features I have said help a lot for a documentary to meet the purpose as with these features it should be able to sastify the audience. Another purpose for a documentary is for the story to be believable as the documentary cannot be made up as this won't look good towards the audience and then it doesn't meet the purpose of a documentary as it is not reporting something that actually happened. For a documentary the use would be to help research for the filming of the documentary as the questions also have to be believable and to do with the event that happened. Whilst researching you can use the outside sources and documents to help support the viewpoint and with documentaries as you are helping to back up your point this can then be a good thing as the audience will then be able to see that research has been done and it is less time consuming for the researcher.
The use of a film in a storyboard can be useful as a whole because a film gives a visual comunnication that uses lots of moving images, music and sound to help tell stories or help to teach something to someone as some films have morals and lessons inside of them. Similarly the purpose of a film is to either educate someone on a specific topic, make money, raise awareness about an issue that has happened before in real life or convey emotions to the viewers of the film. This links with the features of a film as the features of a film helps to tell the narrative of the film that is being viewed this is good as then the film will defiantly have a narrative which makes it easier for the audience.
Another way the features of a film and the purpose link because these features need to be in a film in order for a film to meet the purpose and fulfil the audience needs as the audience needs to be kept appealing and entertained throughout viewing the film. This is good because then the audience will be sastified then money will be made from the film as many people would then pay to go see it in the cinema. Another purpose for a film is that for the director there aim is to push all of there actors to do there best work and once the editing team then gets to work for the film the film director will get the final word of what to use in the film for example the scenes or how the shots look and how they all work together.
The use of a music video varies on what type of song is being made as for example if it a song that contains rap it is being used to promote music that has rap music inside of it. Likewise very single music video has one use in common they are all made and used as marketing devices that are intended to then help promote the sale of all of these music recordings, sometimes there are some music that has been produced to maybe put out a message or show something as it is being presented as more than just a song. Another purpose of a music video is for you to have a way to entertain the audience and promote the audiences tracks and there brands. In addition to this, these songs are made in tie in marketing campaigns which then allow it to become more than just a song.
In terms of storyboarding the use of a music video would also depend on what type of song is being made for the sketcher to then show what is being done in the music video. This is because when storyboarding you have to knwo the plan of the music video so then you know what to draw and write under. The features of a music video links with the purpose as well because one of the featurex for a music video is the music and visuals this links with the purpose as it can help to meet the purpose of a music video.
The use of a TV show in a storyboard can be shown in many ways this is because of the features and the purpose. The use of a TV show can be defined in many different catogories for example education this can help to stimulate children's learning and can have an effect on people's social quality in education. This is good as it can be a benefit for many children that like to then use social media. In general the use of a tv show is to show many different pictures and sound to how they work together. Television is used in a major way for advertisng for example to advertise many different adverts or film trailers. The features of a tv show come in handy when it comes to storyboarding because one of the features is the that the characters have to know what why are going to be saying, this is then when the features meet with the purpose.
Another way in terms of storyboarding of a tv show helps to shot the uses of a TV show along with the features and the purpose is by how much information is put into the TV show and how much detail is put towards the storyboard and this can really help to show the purpose of a TV show as this will help the audience get entertained whilst watching TV. The storyline (which is a feature) is very important as it can show if the tv show is then worth watching.

The effectiveness of these storyboard designs with different sectors proves to be very effective because originally for something to be made inside of a storyboard form it has to present how the story will then flow and then from all of it being drawn out (doesn't matter on any media sector) you will then be able to see from the actual storyboard how everything will look on each media sector for example games or films. This is then effective for the audience to the communciate ideas as from a range of all of these storyboard designs it when then let the creator know what needs to be changed in these designs and what doesn't need to be changed and problems with the design of the storyboard can go unoticed which helps to save you time and money.
The storyboard design for a game is effective to communciate ideas towards to the audience as these games can have many different catogries for example educational games, fighting games, sporty games, racing games adventure games and simulator. Educational games are effective as they can be played in the classroom and it can help some students study in that way this helps to show why educational games are effective. Fighting games can be effective but for the wrong reasons as it can have a bad effect on some students as they might start fighting so this communicates bad ideas towards the audience and the students. Racing games, adventurous games and sporty games can also all be efffective. In general for storyboarding, games will all communciate different ideas towards the audience as the purpose has to be met in order for the game to turn out good.
The storyboard design for a docummentary can be effective as it helps your docummentary come to life as all of the features for a documentary will be involved and because these features go with the actual purpose of a documentary this will then mean that it is very important for them to be in the storyboard design as the documentary won't turn out as to be good as it is supposed to be. Another way the storyboard for a documentary is effective is beause it can then make the documentary look good as it has the usual elements that are supposed to be inside of a documentary, this then makes it easier to communicate ideas towards the audience as the ideas that will be communicated is that say for example a documentary doesnt have a voice ove they just made one without a voiceover to show what is happening in the documentary. This wouldn't be good as it wouldn't communcicate good ideas meaning the audience will say it needs to improve so this is why it would communciate bad ideas towards the audience this then means it wouldnt be effective but with some improvements then it can then be effective.
The storyboard design for a music video can be effective as you are promoting a music video where a musician is singing so this can be related towards your storyboard as you are showing how many secnes are going to be in the music video and depending on the audience you might need to add more scenes towards the music video as you can't make a storyboard for a music video without having a good song as it makes hard for the creator to then make the music video good or even the song good as well as that. Another way a music video can be effective is if it communciates a good idea towards the audience as the song can be more than a song like it is trying to show a message or something else that is important. An additional way it can be effective with the types of ideas it is trying to communciate towards the audience as these ideas an be postive or negative depending on how the music video looks and what the audience thinks of it.
The storyboard of a film can be effective in order to ideas being communicated towards the audiences as the flm can meet it purpose very easily because of the storyboard that has been designed for it as the storyboard is sutiable for a typical film. A film in a storyboard can be effective because it helps your vision of a film to then come out on paper which is very effective towards the audience as ideas are then communicated either in a good way or bad. The storyboard of a tv show can be efffective as it can show how many epsiodes the tv show will then as it depends on what happens inside of the TV show if the show is left on a cliff hanger.

One feature that has to be in a game is the amount of levels as if that isn't in the game the people playing it wouldn't be able to play the game to it's full potential as they won't know how many levels the game has to complete. This can then be a very bad thing for the audience as they won't want to play the game and then it wouldn't get any reviews. Another feature of a game that needs to be in a storyboard for when your creating a game is called the inteventory items for the game this mans what some of the charcters have used or what they do use whilst inside of the game, this then makes the game more interesting. An additional feature that is needed in a game is for when you need to have a lot of players for the game, for example if it is a fighting game it will then have like 8 players on each side and then you would have to pick from all of them
The features of games have to be very accurate for any type of game as you would like to have all of the good features in the games for example like a real friends list so then you can play with all of your friends in the game. This will then be good as the games will be used in a good way and the audience will enjoy it as well.
Features of a documentary in a storyboard
In a documentary they have lots of features this would then be good for the people who have to create a storyboard. one of te features is that there is a voice over as in a documentary whilst they are explaining what has happened there is a voice over so this will be in the storyboard on the part you have to explain what just happened in the scene. Another feature would be the direct and indirect interviews that all happen during the docummentary this when also go down to the part where u have to draw a person getting interviewed or basically getting questions that need to be answered. An additional feature is the archival footage this means the footag that has been archived from a documentary to then show historical events or helps to then add detail towards the documentary that the audience will be viewing.
In terms for a storyboard this will be good as it will help show the documentary because then the audience will be able to know what the documentry is about. as the feature called expostion this will then be what has been done in the start and then is introduced with all of the themes in the film. This is then important because it then helps to create a first impression and introduces the viewer to the content and what is going on in the documentary.
Features of a film in a storyboard
In a film there is a lot of features that has to be in the storyboard for when creating the film for example, the characters there roles as we don't know what they are going to do in the film unless there is a plot to the film already planned out. Another feature of a film is the sound, this has to be used very well inside of a film and it can decide on what genre the film will be in as if it is very upbeat then it could be an action film,horror, thriller. This is also has an effect on the audience for the film to be intense which some audiences like in there films. An additional feature of a film for a storyboard is the structure of the film meaning what will be happening at the start of the film, the middle of the film and the ending. These need to be included in a storyboard as the perosn who is drawing out the shots for the film in general can then stick to the structure that is being created for any storyboard.
In general films have to follow a pattern of:
exposition
conflict
rising action
climax
falling action
resolution
In the storyboard if this isn't involved then it wouldnt be a very good film as with this film structure the film will be more interesting to watch for everyone.
Features of a Music video in a storyboard
In a music video there are also a lot of features that a storyboard needs to include. For example, the close uo=ps on the artists to show how they are rapping also like a medium shot or a high angle or any camera movment or camera angle the music video needs but in terms of storyboarding under the pictures for these music videos it will then be a camera shot or angle stating what is going on for example a low angle shot on the building then the musician comes in and starts to sing with models around him. Another feature that can be for a music video is the visuals that the video has and if they are telling a story and work with what lyrics have then been said inside of the music video as there could be a relationship between the music and the visuals that are happening in the song. For example in a song by The Wanted which is called Walk like Rhianna at one point in the music video the beat of the song changes so then it coordinates with the flashing light on the screen in the music video.
"For example in a song by The Wanted which is called Walk like Rhianna at one point in the music video the beat of the song changes so then it coordinates with the flashing light on the screen". (Slideshare.net 2013)
One of the most important features for a music video would be the location this is very important as it helps the creator (the person who is drawing) of the storyboard really then set out his vision and make sure that the scenes are set out well because usually in music videos the scenery changes meaning the person sketching is going to need to know what to do.
Features of a TV show in a storyboard
In a tv Show there are many features that will then need to be included if you are going to make one. For example of a feature would be the storyline for the tv show. The storyline is an very important feature as it will show to the audience if it worth watching or not. It can also show if the purpose is being met as the purpose for a tv show is to entertain the audience so then they engage into the tv show and are excited to then see the next episode. In terms of this feature being related to storyboarding this would then go below the picture for the storyboard as it will be explaining what is going on in each episode. However, the writer/creator of the storyboard will need to know to what the tv show is going to be about and what has to be put in the episodes.
Another feature would be the characters in the tv show as the wrtier/creator of the storyboard would need to know what the characters look like and what they will be doing in each episode to then make it easier for the creator. The acting as well is a feature in any type of storyboard because the writer/creator needs to know what the characters will be doing in each of the pictures and how they will be acting as well. The dialogue for the tv episode also has to then be believable as then it will be good for the audience because it is fitting the purpose because when creating something in general, the audience would want it to be believable so they may relate to it or would then be more interested in the tv show, another way this is good because the tv show will then become popular as the ratings will go up and everyone will start watching it.

The use of a storyboard in a game will be used very effectively as it can present how the game will look at the start and end whilst you keep on drawing out everything for the game. The sketcher will draw out ideas for characters and scenes and then they place these scenes in order. This then helps to met the ourpose of a game as it has everything every game should then have for example every signle game should have a structure to it meaning that the levels are in the correct order, the game is set up correctly or the characters look like how they are supposed to look like this helps to meet the purpose of a game in general.
For the sketcher of the storyboard this will include a sequence of screens in which the characters inside of the game have to face the challengers, this is also another way the purpose is met for a game as this makes the game more entertaining and the purpose for a game is for it to entertain the audience. Another purpose for a game is to help us develop our practical skills and it can also be a form of exercise in terms of storyboard designs this can easily met the purpose as the sketcher just had to be creative with the game that he or she is trying to make. The features of a game and purpose works very well together as it helps to show the purpose of a game towards the creator of the storyboard designs, this then means it will then be easier for the sketcher to put the game to life.
The use of a storyboard in a documentary will be make it easier for the sketcher to put the documentary to life as they will be able to show all the aspects of a documentary which are: voice over, the interview part, location shots, music and sound, archive footage and the graphics. These key elements of a docummentary need to be included inside of the storyboard otherwise it doesn't help to meet the purpose and the use of this documentary will be pointless and these elements have mentioned makes sure that the documentary is good. In addition to this the use of a documentary in the storyboard makes the sketcher's job much easier as all they have include all of these features then it should be easy to create this storyboard
The purpose of a documentary is to basically entertain and make the audience sastified in some way, these key important (must have) features I have said help a lot for a documentary to meet the purpose as with these features it should be able to sastify the audience. Another purpose for a documentary is for the story to be believable as the documentary cannot be made up as this won't look good towards the audience and then it doesn't meet the purpose of a documentary as it is not reporting something that actually happened. For a documentary the use would be to help research for the filming of the documentary as the questions also have to be believable and to do with the event that happened. Whilst researching you can use the outside sources and documents to help support the viewpoint and with documentaries as you are helping to back up your point this can then be a good thing as the audience will then be able to see that research has been done and it is less time consuming for the researcher.
The use of a film in a storyboard can be useful as a whole because a film gives a visual comunnication that uses lots of moving images, music and sound to help tell stories or help to teach something to someone as some films have morals and lessons inside of them. Similarly the purpose of a film is to either educate someone on a specific topic, make money, raise awareness about an issue that has happened before in real life or convey emotions to the viewers of the film. This links with the features of a film as the features of a film helps to tell the narrative of the film that is being viewed this is good as then the film will defiantly have a narrative which makes it easier for the audience.
Another way the features of a film and the purpose link because these features need to be in a film in order for a film to meet the purpose and fulfil the audience needs as the audience needs to be kept appealing and entertained throughout viewing the film. This is good because then the audience will be sastified then money will be made from the film as many people would then pay to go see it in the cinema. Another purpose for a film is that for the director there aim is to push all of there actors to do there best work and once the editing team then gets to work for the film the film director will get the final word of what to use in the film for example the scenes or how the shots look and how they all work together.
The use of a music video varies on what type of song is being made as for example if it a song that contains rap it is being used to promote music that has rap music inside of it. Likewise very single music video has one use in common they are all made and used as marketing devices that are intended to then help promote the sale of all of these music recordings, sometimes there are some music that has been produced to maybe put out a message or show something as it is being presented as more than just a song. Another purpose of a music video is for you to have a way to entertain the audience and promote the audiences tracks and there brands. In addition to this, these songs are made in tie in marketing campaigns which then allow it to become more than just a song.
In terms of storyboarding the use of a music video would also depend on what type of song is being made for the sketcher to then show what is being done in the music video. This is because when storyboarding you have to knwo the plan of the music video so then you know what to draw and write under. The features of a music video links with the purpose as well because one of the featurex for a music video is the music and visuals this links with the purpose as it can help to meet the purpose of a music video.
The use of a TV show in a storyboard can be shown in many ways this is because of the features and the purpose. The use of a TV show can be defined in many different catogories for example education this can help to stimulate children's learning and can have an effect on people's social quality in education. This is good as it can be a benefit for many children that like to then use social media. In general the use of a tv show is to show many different pictures and sound to how they work together. Television is used in a major way for advertisng for example to advertise many different adverts or film trailers. The features of a tv show come in handy when it comes to storyboarding because one of the features is the that the characters have to know what why are going to be saying, this is then when the features meet with the purpose.
Another way in terms of storyboarding of a tv show helps to shot the uses of a TV show along with the features and the purpose is by how much information is put into the TV show and how much detail is put towards the storyboard and this can really help to show the purpose of a TV show as this will help the audience get entertained whilst watching TV. The storyline (which is a feature) is very important as it can show if the tv show is then worth watching.

The effectiveness of these storyboard designs with different sectors proves to be very effective because originally for something to be made inside of a storyboard form it has to present how the story will then flow and then from all of it being drawn out (doesn't matter on any media sector) you will then be able to see from the actual storyboard how everything will look on each media sector for example games or films. This is then effective for the audience to the communciate ideas as from a range of all of these storyboard designs it when then let the creator know what needs to be changed in these designs and what doesn't need to be changed and problems with the design of the storyboard can go unoticed which helps to save you time and money.
The storyboard design for a game is effective to communciate ideas towards to the audience as these games can have many different catogries for example educational games, fighting games, sporty games, racing games adventure games and simulator. Educational games are effective as they can be played in the classroom and it can help some students study in that way this helps to show why educational games are effective. Fighting games can be effective but for the wrong reasons as it can have a bad effect on some students as they might start fighting so this communicates bad ideas towards the audience and the students. Racing games, adventurous games and sporty games can also all be efffective. In general for storyboarding, games will all communciate different ideas towards the audience as the purpose has to be met in order for the game to turn out good.
The storyboard design for a docummentary can be effective as it helps your docummentary come to life as all of the features for a documentary will be involved and because these features go with the actual purpose of a documentary this will then mean that it is very important for them to be in the storyboard design as the documentary won't turn out as to be good as it is supposed to be. Another way the storyboard for a documentary is effective is beause it can then make the documentary look good as it has the usual elements that are supposed to be inside of a documentary, this then makes it easier to communicate ideas towards the audience as the ideas that will be communicated is that say for example a documentary doesnt have a voice ove they just made one without a voiceover to show what is happening in the documentary. This wouldn't be good as it wouldn't communcicate good ideas meaning the audience will say it needs to improve so this is why it would communciate bad ideas towards the audience this then means it wouldnt be effective but with some improvements then it can then be effective.
The storyboard design for a music video can be effective as you are promoting a music video where a musician is singing so this can be related towards your storyboard as you are showing how many secnes are going to be in the music video and depending on the audience you might need to add more scenes towards the music video as you can't make a storyboard for a music video without having a good song as it makes hard for the creator to then make the music video good or even the song good as well as that. Another way a music video can be effective is if it communciates a good idea towards the audience as the song can be more than a song like it is trying to show a message or something else that is important. An additional way it can be effective with the types of ideas it is trying to communciate towards the audience as these ideas an be postive or negative depending on how the music video looks and what the audience thinks of it.
The storyboard of a film can be effective in order to ideas being communicated towards the audiences as the flm can meet it purpose very easily because of the storyboard that has been designed for it as the storyboard is sutiable for a typical film. A film in a storyboard can be effective because it helps your vision of a film to then come out on paper which is very effective towards the audience as ideas are then communicated either in a good way or bad. The storyboard of a tv show can be efffective as it can show how many epsiodes the tv show will then as it depends on what happens inside of the TV show if the show is left on a cliff hanger.
