Definition: In Windows Movie Maker or other movie making software, the Storyboard is an editing area located at the bottom of the window. It is a panel of pictures or other movie clips, laid out in the sequence that they will be shown in the movie.

In general, storyboards are a series of photos or drawings that outline the sequence of scenes and major changes in the production.

Examples: The storyboard for Mary's movie contained individual photos as well as movie clips that she intended to use in her movie.
