6-10 Multiple Choice:

26. What is the difference between a storyboard and screenplay?

A. A screenplay is a document written by a screenwriter prior to filming. It outlines the
scene, including the set, people, and speech snippets, and may suggest how the
scene should be shot. It's a text-based version of the narrative. A storyboard, on the
other hand, shows the story by arranging a selection of available content fragments in
the correct sequence.

B. Screenplay are essentially sequential art – like comic books – which show the linear
progression of a film’s action as described in the script. While a storyboard will give certain
key visual instructions, it’s not meant to show every single shot, every camera movement,
every close-up or every edit. Sure, the important stuff will be pointed out, things that matter
to the progress of the narrative. But if every single bit of direction was laid into a script, it
would read like stereo instructions.

C. It’s the storyboard’s job to realize a graphic representation of the film’s sequential progress.
While in a screenplay you need to visualize to some degree what is happening on the stage
in order to really create your dialogue, in order to create the piece.
