Abstract
As in all disciplines, there are some projects that require interdisciplinarity interaction in many forms of art and design. It has been observed many times that interdisciplinarity yields more effective results during the process of a project and it is a unique technique of work that combines different domains of expertise. A production of a film is a whole of complicated interdisciplinary approaches that combining considerably different disciplines. Regardless of animated or live-action, all motion picture projects that are presented to the audience only exist as a draft before emerging as a product. We see a film project as a script first but storyboard is the first part when a film starts to exist visually. Storyboard is a technique of illustration of a script in a simple and effective manner. It is a road map for the team that is working on the film. It is fairly challenging to express the shot angles, actor or characters facial expressions, stage designs in only writing. A storyboard scene provides more effective information than the hours-long talks from time to time. Storyboard is a widely-used application not only in the film industry but also in advertising and marketing industry. In such industries, storyboard not only provides the integrity of the team members but also meets the expectations and questions of the customers about how they receive a product or service. In general terms, storyboard artist has fine arts education and is not related with motion pictures industry beforehand. Storyboard designers, who materialize a film project for the first time, must draw for thousands time in line with the expectations of scriptwriter and director. For such important responsibilities, they must have a professional knowledge of basic concepts such as shot angle results, stage designs, costumes, light, size, and perspective.
