In the past, I have never used a story board for my videos, so before I went ahead and made one I thought I would take a look at a few types. My research came up with three main styles - art designed, detailed and free form.
To be honest just reading the titles of each style I could tell what each one was, a story board designed for the artist has simply more space to work with. Typically with these frame shots you would design the ratio to be exactly your video, forcing you to draw how the shot would actually look in terms of composition.
The next story board is geared towards more writing, for someone who likes to have a written of idea of how the shot should look and imagine it in their mind. There is no need to have a fixed ratio as the focus is not really on the frames, the more space the better.
Finally there is the free form story board. This requires no frames at all. There are no restrictions, you can scribble ideas next to and around your images and you would usually draw a rough frame around your shot so you can have an idea of the composition This style of story boarding can become hard to read sometimes and especially to someone other than the story boarder themselves.
