Close-Up Storyboard

A series of visually rendered panels that focus on the product

Why it matters

Where the big-picture storyboard argues for context, the close-up argues for detail: exactly what the screen shows at each beat of the interaction. It is the cheapest way to feel a flow’s rhythm before anyone builds it.

The numbers

  • 6-8 panels — same discipline as the big picture, tighter lens
