A traditional hand-drawn FILM STORYBOARD SHEET for scene 2: 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. This scene is already cut into 5 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 [0.0-4.0s]: SHOT 1 — MS — 35mm. — CAMERA: behind and HIGH over Lulu, looking down at the arched door and the two bay windows. ACTION: Lulu, centre-foreground with her back to camera, tips her head fully back to take in the big friendly house rising above her. Her ears twitch, her tail lifts into a happy question-mark curl, her small shoulders rise with an eager breath. The ARCHED FRONT DOOR stays closed; sky and her own tiny reflection glint in the bay-window glass. EYELINE: Lulu — screen-centre UP — at the two big bay windows. SHOT 2 [4.0-8.0s]: SHOT 2 — MCU — 50mm. — CAMERA: repositioned to a three-quarter front of Lulu, eye level, on the yard side, framing her face and the door behind over her shoulder. ACTION: Lulu's face fills with delight — eyes going huge and bright with warm catchlights, whiskers springing forward, a wide open smile. She bounces slightly on her back paws, front paws lifting in excitement, and greets the house aloud. Her voice is bright and breathy: "Hi! New home!" Her tail flicks up joyfully behind her. EYELINE: Lulu — screen-UP and slightly SCREEN-LEFT — at the friendly windows. SHOT 3 [8.0-10.0s]: SHOT 3 — CU — 65mm. — CAMERA: tight on the ARCHED FRONT DOOR and its brass knob, eye level, from the yard side. ACTION: The ARCHED FRONT DOOR gives a soft creak and swings slowly open by itself, the brass knob turning gently, warm golden interior light spilling out across the landing — as if the house is welcoming her. Dust motes swirl in the opening light beam. No hand touches it. EYELINE: (no character) — focus on the opening door. SHOT 4 [10.0-13.0s]: SHOT 4 — MS — 40mm. — CAMERA: ahead of Lulu, eye level, framing her front with the glowing open doorway behind. ACTION: Lulu FREEZES, facing toward camera — ears flattening a touch, eyes widening in a startled little gasp at the door opening on its own, one paw half-raised. A beat. Then her surprise melts: her ears lift, her eyes soften and shine, and a warm curious smile spreads across her face as she realises the house is friendly, not scary. EYELINE: Lulu — SCREEN-BACK over her shoulder then TOWARD camera — at the open doorway, then out with wonder. SHOT 5 [13.0-16.0s]: SHOT 5 — WS — 24mm. — CAMERA: LOW angle from just inside the threshold looking up and out at Lulu against the tall apricot house, on the interior side of the axis. ACTION: Lulu takes a brave little step forward SCREEN-TOWARD camera across the threshold into the warm glowing interior, tail high and confident, the big friendly apricot house framing her from the low angle. Golden light wraps her as she enters her new home. EYELINE: Lulu — FORWARD and slightly UP — into the warm interior. 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.
