Storyboards:
Storyboards can be helpful if your presentation is linear or will present a series of events or images. If your work is non-linear, list material elements and the connections between them in as much detail as you can.

a) Errol Morris Storyboards for documentaries & other stuff

b) A sampling of different genres:

Cross & Multia media projects:
