The Science of Scripting and Storyboarding

ATTENTION Camtasia and PowerPoint Video Creators

There are lots of ingredients in a great video. But in the end, the success of your video hinges on a critical question: Does it convey your marketing message or help your audience learn and apply relevant skills and knowledge? If not, it’s probably because the planning and design work got lost in the shuffle.

Every successful online course has one thing in common: a solid foundation. If you don’t have a stable structure in place when you begin creating your video, every aspect of your video will suffer as a result. Well planned videos look the most professional.

Storyboards and scripts ensure that you and the reader are literally on the same page, as it is a document that describes every single piece of your eLearning course, specifying its visual, text, audio, and interactive elements.

BUT: It's HARDER than you thought & you're STUCK!

Here's the problem: Most people have a tendency to jump straight into the development of a video, skipping the design and planning phase.

This leads to several negative outcomes...

  • Video content is not well organized
  • Video content is inconsistent
  • Marketing video message is unclear
  • Training videos tend to either have too much or too little content
  • Video creators get frustrated so they never begin or they start the process without a clear design plan and never finish

We have seen this more often than not in those of you new to video creation and sometimes you’ll get to us too late requiring a lot of rework to get your videos to a professional level.

Here’s the answer:  Before you even open up your video creation software… write your Script and Storyboard!


Hi, we’re Michelle Schoen and Lon Naylor of ScreenCaptureVideo.com and we feel your pain! We know how quickly you can get stuck trying to create good videos because we’ve been there! After a collective 24 years of experience creating screencast and presentation videos, we’ve seen it all… and then some!


Have you you ever thought about what a house might look like without a blueprint in place? Yes, something similar would be the resulting eLearning course without a storyboard.

Video StoryboardIf you’re not familiar with what screencast video storyboards look like, you may be thinking  of hand drawn scenes that are popular with full motion pictures and advertising.  Don’t worry - you don’t need to learn how to draw.  That’s just one kind of storyboard template. There are many to choose from!

A storyboard is a map that guides screencast professionals through every twist and turn of their design. eLearning storyboards make the eLearning design and development process much more efficient, as they can not only help eLearning professionals to illustrate their ideas, but also to deliver engaging and visually rich eLearning experiences to their audience.

Storyboarding helps you to think about how you want your finished screencast video to look, how the story should unfold, and what shots will best convey your story to your audience.
