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 9:16 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. Divide the following 8-second scene into NINE consecutive story beats yourself, in strict chronological order, and draw one panel per beat. Vary the shot size between panels — do not draw nine versions of the same framing. THE SCENE: CONTINUOUS SINGLE SHOT — 8 seconds, no cuts. 0:00–0:02 — @Character 1 slowly opens his eyes, lying on the messy bed, crumpled grey linen around him. He raises one hand and rubs his forehead with a pained, hungover grimace. Shallow depth of field, warm morning light cutting through window blinds. 0:02–0:04 — Camera smoothly pans RIGHT across the empty side of the bed — crumpled grey sheets, pillow still dented. Pan continues to the dark wooden nightstand where an empty whisky glass sits, catching the morning light. 0:04–0:06 — Camera tilts DOWN fluidly from the nightstand to the hardwood floor below. A pair of black lace women's underwear lies on the floor next to scattered pieces of clothing. 0:06–0:08 — Camera lifts back UP to @Character 1 as he slowly sits up on the edge of the bed, his tattooed chest and arms revealed. He glances down at the floor with a slow, knowing smirk, then runs his hand through his messy blonde hair. Hold on his face. Photorealistic, 4K, cinematic lighting, moody atmosphere, shallow depth of field, warm golden morning light through blinds. 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.
