Yes, that is true but as with anything it also has drawbacks. Putting more panels onto a single paper also means each panel is smaller which means the picture has less detail the text is harder to read and any camera effects become difficult demonstrate effectively.
Traditionally yes, in presentations it can also be projected onto an empty screen. However sometimes it is necessary to send a storyboard to someone via electronic means. In such a case the computer screen panel makes it easier to see the picture as well as the description.
Do you use a specific program to create these storyboards? It seems like it would be simple enough to do a mockup in Photoshop, but it seems like there would probably be a separate program to do this in, too.
Oh I'm certain there is a program out there for it, but for my purposes I use Photoshop. It does however make editing small errors far more time consuming.
I find the multi-panel type the most useful to fit a quick storyboard onto lesser pages.

DeleteYou mention a computer screen panel. Is storyboarding sometimes done on computers? I'm used to thinking about it taking up a big wall somewhere.
