A traditional hand-drawn FILM STORYBOARD SHEET for scene 1: one page divided into a clean 3x3 grid of NINE separate rectangular panels, three rows of three, each panel a 16:9 rectangle with a thin ruled black border and a small hand-written panel number in its top-left corner from 1 to 9. Thin white gutters between panels. Off-white paper background with faint tooth. MEDIUM, STRICT: rough graphite pencil drawing only. Loose confident director's sketch, visible pencil strokes, hatching and smudged shading for shadow, some construction lines left in. Monochrome grey graphite, NO colour anywhere, NO paint, NO digital rendering, NO photorealism. It must look drawn by hand on paper in a few minutes per panel. No named characters — stage the action with anonymous figures. This scene is already cut into 3 shots. Draw NINE panels covering them in strict chronological order, distributing the panels across the shots in proportion to each shot's length: a long shot gets several panels showing how it develops, a short one gets a single panel. Every panel must respect the camera position and framing written in its shot — that is the staging, not a suggestion. Where a shot says the camera is on one side of the action, do not draw it from the other side. SHOT 1 [0.0-2.0s]: SHOT 1 — ECU — 100mm macro. CAMERA: high angle down onto the Boy's right wrist. MOVE: STATIC with micro-shake. ACTION: the frame fills with the crimson thread knotted on the wrist; at T=0.4 the thread SNAPS taut and gives a sharp TUG — the wrist jerks a few millimetres SCREEN-RIGHT, skin dimpling under the knot; blurred feet sweep past the top edge. EYELINE: macro on the wrist. SHOT 2 [2.0-4.0s]: SHOT 2 — MCU — 50mm. CAMERA: side-on, eye level. MOVE: PULL BACK over T=2.0-4.0. BOY revealed facing SCREEN-DOWN toward his wrist, the crimson thread stretching taut off-frame SCREEN-RIGHT; behind him the crowd resolves as a horizontal blur. EYELINE: BOY looks SCREEN-DOWN-RIGHT along the thread. SHOT 3 [4.0-6.0s]: SHOT 3 — WS — 35mm. CAMERA: side-on, eye level, ground height, looking across the street. MOVE: continued PULL BACK. BOY stands frozen and sharp at the kerb (3) CENTRE, blurred commuters streaming SCREEN-RIGHT-to-LEFT across him, the crimson thread the one crisp line leaving him SCREEN-RIGHT into the haze. EYELINE: BOY lifts his gaze SCREEN-RIGHT to follow where the thread leads. Draw camera arrows and simple motion lines in pencil where movement matters, and keep every panel's staging consistent with the one before it — this sheet is a shooting plan, so a person standing screen-left in one panel stays screen-left in the next unless the action moves them. NO text or captions anywhere except the small panel numbers 1 to 9. No title block, no handwriting in the margins, no speech bubbles, no subtitles, no watermark, no logo.
