Using a storyboard helps you and potentially other team members communicate important information about the e-learning video before and during its creation. There is a strange phenomenon at play in the creation of a video. What you think about, dream about, talk about, and plan does not always translate to a viable e-learning project without committing it to some form of reality. The storyboard helps you do that. It forces you to formalize and commit to the plans you have already created in the project plan, outline, and script.
