Between the script and the video: what AI storyboard tools hand back

Shot type and framing on a board

Shot type names how much of the subject a shot shows: a wide shot takes in the place, a close-up the face. Framing is the same decision described by what sits inside the edges. From 7 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

Fig. 1 The definition is the catalogue's; the vendor wording is quoted in the table.

Tools carry it in different places: a label on the shot, a control on the panel, or a word in the shot's text.

Shot type is the first thing to check on a generated board, because a wrong size changes what a scene says.
