Action : textual storyboarding, perhaps above all, is about joining meaningful episodes of action together.Focus : storyboarding textual components enables meaning to be focussed in a way that allows the micro-elements to complement the macro.
Designating components of action can be a way to observe contrast and juxtaposition in the text. Without the slightest regard to a play’s chapters is to risk monotony. Juxtaposition : changes in action often demand a change of colour and tempo.
Storyboarding a script into components of action provides a much-needed sense of manageability.
Manageability : participants often see a wall of text, or a sea of arbitrary scenes and acts.
