A story board helps to show what the writer has written. This then can show over people how it would play in pictures making it easier to bring in to real life.
Story board main points

1. What charters are in the frame, and how are they moving in the scene.
2. What are the charters saying in the frame?
3. The amount of time that has passed the one frame to another.
4. Where the camera would be placed to shoot the scene. E.g. up high. Or birds eye.

Types of shots.

CLOSE-UP SHOT:   A close range of distance between the camera and the subject.

DISSOVLE: A transition between two shots, where one shot fades away and simultaneously another shot fades in.

FADE - A transition from a shot to black where the image gradually becomes darker is a Fade Out; or from black where the image gradually becomes brighter is a Fade In. 

HIGH CAMERA ANGLE:  A camera angle which looks down on its subject making it look small, weak or unimportant. 

JUMP CUT: A rapid, jerky transition from one frame to the next, either disrupting the flow of time or movement within a scene or making an abrupt transition from one scene to another. 

LEVEL CAMERA ANGLE:  A camera angle which is even with the subject; it may be used as a neutral shot

LONG SHOT:  A long range of distance between the camera and the subject, often providing a broader range of the setting. 

LOW CAMERA ANGLE:  A camera angle which looks up at its subject; it makes the subject seem important and powerful. 

PAN:  A steady, sweeping movement from one point in a scene to another.

POV (point of view shot): A shot which is understood to be seen from the point of view of a character within the scene.

REACTION SHOT- 1. A shot of someone looking off screen. 2. A reaction shot can also be a shot of someone in a conversation where they are not given a line of dialogue but are just listening to the other person speak. 

TILT:  Using a camera on a tripod, the camera moves up or down to follow the action.
