  WHERE DID ITALL BEGIN? The first person thought to have used storyboards is Leonardo Divinci. However, in the late 1920’s the popularisation of animated pictures helped make the use of the storyboard a mandatory exercise in modern cinema. These were often hand drawn and existing on paper with no real detail. Walt Disney and his artists reinvented the use of the storyboard in 1929 in the process of making the moving picture ‘Steamboat Willie’, the first animated cartoon feature. In the 1940’s it then became a part of live action recordings. Some directors such as Joel and Ethan Coen would extensively storyboard and take it into pitches for new ideas as it gave the financers an idea on exactly what their investments would produce.

  WHERE IS STORYBOARDING NOW? Animatingdirectors are still the main users of extensive storyboards due to the amount of detail now used in animated scenes with technological advancements. Storyboards can now be computerised and using digital sketches. However, storyboarding now exists in more than just the film industry. Marketing companies, fashion organisation and other business related companies now use storyboards for their onscreen and online promotion materials. Due to the communication revolution many companies have now taken to the internet as their primary source of marketing as this is a more accessible and cheap platform to promote their products on. However, even this requires planning and therefore companies will often be pitched a marketing teams ideas for promotion whether this be online or onscreen.

  WHERE WILL STORYBOARDING GO? Alongwith technology their will be advancements in the presentation of storyboards however I think it is too vital a planning procedure that many organisations will never fully eliminate. A storyboard acts as a visual flow chart of events that will show from start to finish what a director intends to create on camera. Therefore, it would be difficult for this to be shown by other methods.
