“

- We traditionally have relied on the director's viewfinder to simulate the field of view of a camera in lens combination, and plan our shots. Recently, compact digital cameras with powerful zooms have become quite popular. And they also allow us to capture stills to be used later on our storyboards. Additionally, there are many mobile applications, some of them even free, that not only mimic traditional director's viewfinder but more accurately preview many lens and sensor size combinations. And even include essential tools for location scouting such as weather forecasts, a compass and GPS data.
