A traditional hand-drawn FILM STORYBOARD SHEET for scene 5: 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 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 [0.0-3.5s]: SHOT 1 — MS — 40mm. — CAMERA: behind Lulu, EYE level, on the room side of the axis, looking over her toward the sunny window. ACTION: Lulu, screen-centre with her back to camera, plants her front paws on the cream WINDOWSILL and pushes up with her back legs, scrambling softly onto the ledge. She rises to LEVEL with the TALL WINDOW, ears perking, tail curling, warm sunlight haloing her fur from the front. Dust motes drift in the golden beam. EYELINE: Lulu — FORWARD and slightly DOWN through the glass — at the neighbour's yard below. SHOT 2 [3.5-6.0s]: SHOT 2 — continues seamlessly (same take) — MCU — 40mm easing toward tighter framing. — CAMERA: behind and slightly to Lulu's screen-left, eye level, still room side of the axis, the push-in continuing over her shoulder to the glass. ACTION: Lulu settles into a soft seated curl on the sill, tail wrapping around her paws, and gazes out with a gentle wondering expression at the NEIGHBOUR'S YARD — the little pastel-peach house, green garden, white fence and blossom tree glowing below. Her shoulders relax; a small contented smile forms. This is her window now. EYELINE: Lulu — screen-FORWARD and DOWN — softly studying the neighbour's yard. SHOT 3 [6.0-9.0s]: SHOT 3 — continues seamlessly (same take) — ECU — 65mm. — CAMERA: pushed in past her shoulder to her paw and the glass, eye level, room side of the axis, framing her paw on the pane and the yard soft behind. ACTION: Lulu slowly lifts one small front paw and rests it GENTLY on the cool glass of the TALL WINDOW, paw pads pressing softly, a faint warm print forming. Her eyes shine with tender belonging, a soft breath fogging a tiny circle on the pane. The neighbour's yard glows warm and out of focus beyond her paw — a quiet promise of the friend to come. EYELINE: Lulu — screen-FORWARD — at her own paw on the glass and the yard beyond. 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.
