Frame / panel

Updated

A frame (or panel) is one picture on a storyboard. On a shooting board it means the picture plus its shot data, not just the drawing.

A frame or panel is one picture on the board. “Frame” is closer to camera language; “panel” is closer to comics. On a shooting board they should mean the same thing: the picture and its shot data.

One beat may need several frames of coverage. Do not merge them to keep the page pretty.
