What components are included in a storyboard?

• C. Team roster, office layout, and vacation schedules.
• D. Security protocols, access rights, and encryption methods.

Answer: (B)

A storyboard is a visual plan that maps out how a video or film will unfold, combining sketches or images with planning details for each shot. The components included—scene numbers and timings, locations, the actual images or frames, camera shot types, camera angles, and sound cues—cover everything you need to know to execute the sequence. Scene numbers help you track order, timings set the pace, locations indicate where each shot happens, images provide the visual layout, shot types (like wide or close-up) tell you how much of the scene is shown, camera angles guide the perspective, and sound cues plan dialogue, effects, and music. Those elements create a practical blueprint for shooting, aligning visual storytelling with technical direction. The other options focus on story ideas, production logistics, or security details, which aren’t part of the shot-by-shot planning a storyboard provides.
