“The chronogram has four basic functions: (1) to set out the narrative and tell the story of the project; (2) to describe processes involved in the production of the project; (3) to communicate style by using the graphic language of the project; and (4) to develop and communicate the spatial ideas of the project. Perhaps the most important function is that the chronogram stands in for the time-based work when it cannot be shown, a problem that is perfectly illustrated when trying to describe time-based ideas in a static form… The chronogram differs from traditional ways of mapping out time-based sequences, such as storyboards, in a number of crucial ways. The storyboard assumes certain conventions and roles within film production. … The chronogram is not shot based; it is a spatial drawing. Its role is to determine the spaces of the project. … Most importantly, the chronogram is not intended to be as prescriptive as the storyboard; it is a much more fluid drawing type, and should be considered a strategic conceptual aid. Its role is to facilitate the creation of spatial ideas in conjunction with the development of the time-based work, and ultimately enable the designer to communicate his or her design, design intentions, and the means by which he or she seeks to achieve them.”
