Organization

Define Frame, Scene, Sequence, Shot.

Frame- Also known as a panel. This is a single illustration of a specific shot.

Scene- In live action, a scene is a series of shots that constitutes a continuous action depicting an incident or situation. In animation, a scene is defined by a change of location and/or time. In other words, a new scene is required every time the background (or scenery) changes- even if the action is taking place in the same room.

Sequence- In live action, this is simply a set of related actions or events, such as a chase sequence, which may take place within a scene but does not necessarily become the scene. For example, a scene in which the bank robbers make their getaway after a botched heist may result in several sequences: a gun fight, car chase, foot chase, fistfight, and arrest or evasion. In animation, a sequence is the equivalent of a live action scene.

Shot- This is the portion of the scene that is visible to the camera, as framed by it's lens. In animation, shot and scene are sometimes synonymous.

How do you number insert shots on storyboards?
 You add letters of course! (Starting with A and so on.) If you add a shot between 4 and 5 it would be labeled 4A. If you need to add more it would go 4B, 4C, 4D and so on.
