Real cameras crop slightly during delivery. Never put critical elements at the absolute edge of the frame. Pencil a faint 10 % border inside each frame and keep important composition inside it.

Compose for the safe area, not the frame edge

For pans and zooms within a single shot, draw the start composition with an arrow showing how the camera moves. For complex moves (dolly + pan, crane shots) use two frames showing the start and end positions, with notation in the caption.

Mark camera movement with arrows

Add 'WS' (wide shot), 'MS' (medium), 'CU' (close-up), 'POV' (point of view) to each caption. For timed sequences, also note duration ('3 sec' or '5 frames'). This information turns a static storyboard into a complete shot plan.

Use the captions for shot type and timing

Real film production numbers scenes and shots in a specific format (e.g., 'Scene 12, Shot 4' = '12-4'). Numbering each panel saves enormous time when revisions arrive. You can swap one shot without renumbering the others.
