By creating a structure according to which the video is to be created, storyboarding helps the production team break down the task of creating the video into subproblems. The team can then improve each of the various elements that go towards creating the video - lighting and camera angles, communicating with subject matter experts and with video experts to create the most accurate and engaging learning content, finding the best graphics to supplement the whiteboard lecture parts of the video, the optimal
