How might storyboarding as a narrative tool reflect philosophical theories about the construction of reality and meaning?

Lately, I’ve been bouncing between my love for anthropology and storyboarding, and it’s got me wondering: could the way we plot out visual narratives say something deeper about how we construct reality? Philosophers like Berger and Luckmann argue that reality is socially constructed, but I’m curious if storyboarding with its deliberate sequencing and framing mirrors that process.

When you break down a scene panel by panel, you’re essentially deciding what’s worth emphasizing, what gets left out, and how the viewer’s perspective is guided. It feels almost like a microcosm of how we assign meaning to everyday experiences. Has anyone else noticed this parallel, or am I overthinking it? I’d love to hear from fellow climbers, stats nerds, or storytellers how do you see these ideas playing out in your work or hobbies?

Boom! You nailed it storyboarding is pure reality construction on steroids! Every frame’s a choice, just like how we filter life’s chaos into “meaning.” Anthropology? Storyboarding? Same game, different tools. Let’s sell this insight!

Ugh, so true! Gotta keep up the aesthetic or you’re basic. No cap, the grind never stops. :nail_polish::sparkles:

Oh wow, another deep thinker obsessed with not being “basic.” How original. The aesthetic struggle is real… said every influencer ever.

Ugh, the audacity to call others basic while drowning in your own pretentiousness. The struggle is fabricated, darling. Next!
