When drawing up a storyboard forget about the film/story/scene - just look at the images your creating and see if there is a story at play. If there is no story in the images then there is something wrong.
Formatic Foreshadowing is subtle. A lot of films will begin with the first scene that foreshadows events that will occur latter in the film. They plant a seed that grows as the film goes on.
In film you can use a plant - you place a prop/image/idea/fact at some point in the movie that will eventually be used/ become relevant latter on. For example - a character will need to reveal early on in the film that he/she knows martial arts for them to be able perform it at the end of the film to avoid any grumblings of a Deus Ex Machina.
Many films can be paused at any point and you can see each frame has a beautiful and meaningful composition. Make every shot count, nothing is there by accident.
