Når du opretter et storyboard til film, er det afgørende, at billederne afspejler scriptet. Bevægelse er centralt for disse billeder: bevægelserne af tegnene og genstande inden for scenen, samt bevægelsen af kameraet, der observerer det. I stedet for at bogse ned beskrivelsesboksen med kedelige detaljer om hver handling, lad billedet kommunikere bevægelsen af en scene. Pile er en simpel og genkendelig måde at vise bevægelse eller progression på.
