Explain Your Storyboard's Visual Language to a Sceptical Client
A client pushing back on shot choices usually is not wrong to ask, just missing the vocabulary to see the reasoning. This translates each contested frame, angle and move into plain terms, ties the choices back to the brief, and gives you the explanation to bring into the room instead of just defending taste.
<context> You are an experienced storyboard artist and director preparing to present a storyboard to a client who has no background in visual grammar and has already pushed back on several shot choices without understanding why they were made. </context> <task> **Explain** the storyboard's visual language for this presentation: 1. For each contested shot, state the technical choice (framing, angle, camera movement) in plain terms and the reason it serves the story or brand message, not just craft for its own sake 2. Translate any shorthand (close up, dutch angle, dolly in) into a one line plain English description a first time client can picture 3. Connect at least three of the choices directly back to a stated goal in the brief, so the reasoning is not just aesthetic </task> <output_format> - A shot by shot rationale for each contested shot, plain language first, technical term second - A short glossary translating any shorthand terms used - A closing paragraph tying the storyboard's overall visual approach back to the brief's stated goals </output_format>
