Certain panels need storyboard three-point perspective in order to accurately depict what the shot will look like on the screen. A shot of New York city taken from a helicopter won't look right unless the drawing employs three-point perspective, for example. That's the job of the storyboard, to give an accurate depiction of what to shoot and how it'll look.

A work of art (usually a panel painting) which is divided into three sections, or three carved panels which are hinged together and folded.
a painting, typically an altarpiece, consisting of more than three leaves or panels joined by hinges or folds.
Altarpieces are not considered sculptures, but they may include sculptures, usually in combination with paintings. An altarpiece consists of one or more paintings or sculptures, or a combination of both, on one or more panels (two panels is a diptych, three is a triptych) in a frame. The paintings are painted on wood panels and any sculptures are usually made of wood. There may or may not be hinges so some of the panels can close, revealing other images on the backs of the closed panels. Altarpieces were designed to be placed first in front of, then later behind and above the altar in a church. They contain Christian religious imagery, usually stories from the Bible. Among the most well-regarded are: the Maesta Altarpiece (1308-1311, paintings only) by Duccio; the Ghent Altarpiece (1432, paintings only) by Jan van Eyck; the Portinari Altarpiece (1475, paintings only) by Hugo van der Goes; the St. Wolfgang Altarpiece (1471-1481, paintings & sculptures) by Michael Pacher; the Veit Stoss Altarpiece (1477-1489, primarily sculptures) by Veit Stoss; and the Isenheim Altarpiece (1512-1516, paintings & sculptures) by Mattias Grunewald.

The Merode Altarpiece is a triptych: a work of art in three separate sections meant to be displayed together. In this case it is three paintings in oil on wood panels, set into a hinged frame. It was painted by Robert Campin and/or members of his workshop in the early 15th century, with possible additions by a later hand. The triptych was possibly commissioned for display in a private chapel by wealthy donors, who are depicted in the left hand panel, as a display of their piety. It was also a display of their wealth that they could afford to comission such a painting. The central and right hand panels show the Annunciation and Joseph working in a shop creating mousetraps, symbols of the Incarnation as God's method of trapping the devil. The images are rich with additional symbolism. The original is in the Cloisters, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
