Practitioner accounts tie board panels to script or breakdown numbering but differ: scene number plus a letter per shot (No Film School), or sequential numbers never renumbered with letter inserts such as 12A (storyboard instructor); camera moves drawn as start and end frames joined by one arrow and one label. A feature artist reported avoiding arrows (producer reading).
