The action in a panel is usually composed of the action, dialogue, and effects that occur between a camera being turned on until it is turned off. Typically, a shot can be expressed in a single panel, but more elaborate or complex shots may require multiple panels.
Before beginning your storyboard, you should analyze your script to find out if it is possible to produce a storyboard using the current structure. You will already have an idea of some of the shots you will want to use based on the script, structure and delivery requirements. Taking into consideration these factors early on will make this step even easier and more productive.
Using the information from your analysis, determine the shots that you will require for the production. At this stage, you may not necessarily have information on every detail of the shot, like the camera angle, composition, lighting or type of shot, but if you have some of this information, you can include it. What is more important is the development of the sequence of the shots. Create a unique panel or write notes for each shot that you intend to use in your production.
Dividing your script into smaller parts will make the job of determining shots easier.
