Introduction to the Technical Communications StoryboardĪccording to Wikipedia, “ Storyboards are graphic organizers in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence.” It helps organize the pile (or the idea that could become a pile) of videos, photos, audio clips, and documents according to a logical sequence that can be aligned with text or audio. Storyboards help you organize before you begin to develop your presentation, video tutorial, animation, simulation or web-based training, by putting it into a format that allows others to see the sequence of your presentation before you begin production. You’re probably familiar with at least some the tools to create presentations, tutorials, videos, animated instructions and other technical communications projects There is one fairly low-tech tool to help organize and structure your multi-media project-the storyboard. But, we need feedback before we invest the time producing our project, or we may find we’ve gone down the proverbial rabbit hole and missed the intended goal of the project. We can settle on a concept, a delivery method, and come up with ideas for visuals and copy points. A multi-media technical communications project requires not only creative skills, but organizational skills as well.
