Reel Storyboard

Walk into filming with a plan.

Stop guessing the next shot while the camera is rolling. Turn your saved Reel script into six scenes with black-and-white sketches, spoken words and practical filming notes.

What you walk away with

Six scenes. Every shot has a purpose.

Follow one example project

From expertise to influence.

Amara Reed · Executive communication coach
Speak with Impact · For business executives

Six scenes turn the script into a recording plan: a direct opening, the familiar mistake, a clearer structure, a worked example, a pause and the invitation to practise. Amara can record it herself using the sketches and camera notes.

SPEAK WITH IMPACT / Six-scene storyboard
EXAMPLE OUTPUT
FILMING PLAN / REEL 01

Make your point in three sentences.

6 scenes · approx. 45s
01 / 00–06s

The opening

Your expertise isn’t the problem. The order you explain it in might be.

Eye-level close-up. Look into the lens.
02 / 06–12s

The familiar mistake

If you lead with every detail, the room has to work out your point.

Cut to a wide meeting shot and a crowded page of notes.
03 / 12–20s

The replacement

Try three sentences: your recommendation, one reason, and the decision you need.

Overhead notes. Reveal one line at a time.
04 / 20–32s

Show it working

I recommend delaying the launch by one week. It gives us time to fix the payment issue. Can we agree that today?

Medium shot. Deliver each sentence with a short pause.
Leave a little more space after each sentence.
05 / 32–38s

Let it land

Then pause. Add detail when it helps the decision—not before.

Reaction shot. Give the executive a beat to respond.
06 / 38–45s

The next step

Before your next meeting, write your three sentences. Use my Executive Message Planner to practise.

Return to the close-up. Show the planner title.

Illustrative mockups for one fictional coach and campaign. These show an example creative direction, not a guaranteed one-click result.

“I don’t know what to show.”

Give each scene a camera direction, an action and an estimated duration.

“One scene needs changing, not the whole Reel.”

Comment on a scene and update just its image. The other images and scene text stay untouched.

“My script and filming notes are everywhere.”

Keep the storyboard in the same project, print it, and return when you’re ready to record.

From idea to output

Make your next step easier.

  1. Save a Reel script in Script Builder.
  2. Create and review the six-scene storyboard.
  3. Add comments, revise the scenes that need it, then film.

This creates a filming plan, not an automated video. Revisions are limited by your plan.
