STORYBOARDS
_A storyboard in the case of interactive media, is the
layout and sequence in which the user or viewer sees the content or
information
In creating a motion picture that follows a script, a storyboard provides a visual layout of events as they are to be seen through the camera lens.

DISNEY STUDIOS developed the storyboard process as it is known today during the early 1930's and was first used for the short THREE LITTLE PIGS. Disney credited animator Webb Smith with creating the idesa of drawing scenes on separate sheets of paper and pinning them up on a bulletin board to tell a story in sequence, creating the first storyboard. Gone with the Wind was one of the first live action films o be completely storyboarding. And Alfred Hitchcock, the movie director is one person who took this concept to the extreme, drawing every single shot in a film before he started the camera rolling.

STORYBOARDS IN ANIMATION:
_In animation and special effects
work, the storyboarding stage may be followed by simplified mock-ups
called "animatics" to give a better idea of how the scene will look and
feel with motion and timing. At its simplest, an animatic is a series of
still images edited together and displayed in sequence. More commonly, a
rough dialogue
and/or rough sound track is added to thesequence of still images
(usually taken from a storyboard) to test whether tIn he sound and images
are working effectively together.
This allows the animators and directors to work out any screenplay, camera positioning, shot list and timing issues that may exist with the current storyboard. The storyboard and soundtrack are amended if necessary, and a new animatic may be created and reviewed with the director until the storyboard is perfected.

Animatics
_Animatics, a type of storyboard, are used by advertising agencies to create inexpensive test commercials. A
variation, the "rip-o-matic", is made from scenes of existing movies,
television programs or commercials, to simulate the look and feel of
the proposed commercial. Rip, in this sense, refers to ripping-off an
original work to create a new one.

PHOTOMATIC AKA DIGIMATIC
_
A photomatic is a series of still photographs edited together and presented on screen in a sequence. Usually, a voice-over, soundtrack and sound effects are added to the piece to create a presentation to show how a film could be shot and cut together. Increasingly used by advertisers and advertising agencies to research the effectiveness of their proposed storyboard before committing to a 'full up' television advertisement.
The photomatic is usually a research tool, similar to an animatic, in that it represents the work to a test audience so that the commissioners of the work can gauge its effectiveness.
Originally, photographs were taken using colour negative film. A selection would be made from contact sheets and prints made. The prints would be placed on a rostrum and recorded to videotape using a standard video camera. Any moves, pans or zooms would have to be made in camera. The captured scenes could then be edited.
Digital photography, web access to stock photography and Non-linear editing programs have had a marked impact on this way of film making also leading to the term 'digimatic'. Images can be shot and edited very quickly to allow important creative decisions to be made 'live'. Photo composite animations can build intricate scenes that would normally be beyond many test film budgets.

COMIC BOOKS
_Some writers have used storyboard type drawings (albeit rather sketchy) for their scripting of comic books,
often indicating staging of figures, backgrounds and balloon placement
with instructions to the artist as needed often scribbled in the
margins and the dialogue/captions indicated.
In Japanese Manga comics, the word "nemu" (ネーム; modified Hepburn roomaji: neemu, IPA: [ne̞e̞mu͍]; the -u is devoiced) is used for manga storyboards. In Japan this is the standard way of presenting a new episode to magazine editors.
