In various embodiments, a storyboarding application generates a storyboard for a media title. In operation, the storyboarding application determines a categorization for a first portion of the media item. The storyboarding application then determines a first media item based on at least one of the categorization or a caption associated with the first portion of the media title. Subsequently, the storyboarding application modifies the first media item based on at least one of the categorization or a character associated with the caption to generate a second media item. The storyboarding application then generates a sequence of media items for the storyboard that includes the second media item. Advantageously, because the storyboarding application can automatically generate media items for storyboards based on categorizations and/or captions, the storyboarding application can reduce both the manual effort and time required to generate storyboards relative to prior art techniques.
