01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

A storyboard arranges key moments in panels. Camera distance, framing and order affect what a viewer learns. A close view can show a detail; a wider view can reveal context. Planning on paper helps identify missing information without needing expensive equipment.

Pause. Make the idea your own.

Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?

You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.
02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN
