And what you see here is an empty canvas so to speak, with a big plus that says “add a shot”.Īnd that’s what we’re going to do.

This is the one you’ll probably use most.īut this time we won’t go into the screenplay editor, but rather, to the storyboard function.Ĭlick on “Storyboard”, and celtx opens up a new tab. To get to the storyboard function, click on the project name, so that celtx brings you to the overview of the different functions within that project, where “Screenplay” is one of them and would give you access to the screenplay editor. And when you just need a little help in staging some not too complicated scenes – production wise speaking – it may be of great help. In my opinion, the storyboard function in celtx is not too extensive, but keep in mind that this is what is offered for free, you pay nothing for it.

Because you’ll most likely be busy writing.īut, maybe you are planning to do your own production, your own short, or whatever it might be, so, let’s look at what the storyboard function offers you in terms of creating your own visual guide for shooting what you’ve written. If you’re a writer who works with a production company, most likely a director or a storyboard artist is going to do that work for you. The storyboard function helps you “block shots” as they say, which means, thinking about and deciding, how would those scenes that you’ve written look like if you were to divide them up into different shots. With the free version of celtx, you can also make use of the storyboard function, which is very nice.
