Why this workbook?
Have you ever wanted to visually communicate your ideas? This may have been for school or college, or in all kinds of work situations. Perhaps you have wanted to explain an idea, process or a project. In all these cases a storyboard is a great way to get your ideas across.
The reason I wrote this workbook is to assist Media Studies students in communicating their ideas when making film scenes. When we think of storyboarding it is films that naturally come to mind.
However, storyboarding skills have so many more uses than just films. You can use the same techniques in almost any situation where you want show ideas visually. Therefore these are sketching skills that have many practical uses.
