A traditional hand-drawn FILM STORYBOARD SHEET for scene 6: 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 4 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 [0.0-3.0s]: SHOT 1 — WS — 30mm. — CAMERA: side-on, EYE level, on the open room side, framing Lulu screen-left and the mirror screen-right with boxes between. ACTION: Lulu, screen-left of centre, weaves between the STACKED BOXES and stops short as she notices the TALL MIRROR on screen-right. Her reflection stops too, facing back at her. She straightens up abruptly, puffing her chest and lifting her chin into a very serious, formal posture, front paws neatly at her sides, tail poised — as if standing at a real introduction. EYELINE: Lulu — SCREEN-RIGHT — into the mirror at her reflection. SHOT 2 [3.0-6.5s]: SHOT 2 — MS — 45mm. — CAMERA: side-on, eye level, on the room side, framing Lulu screen-left and her mirrored double screen-right together. ACTION: Lulu clears her throat, dips a tiny polite bow of the head, and rehearses aloud to her reflection with earnest confidence, one paw lifting in a small formal gesture: "My name is Lulu. What's your name?" Her reflection mirrors the gesture exactly, paw for paw. Her eyes are bright and determined; whiskers forward. EYELINE: Lulu — SCREEN-RIGHT — at her reflection's eyes. SHOT 3 [6.5-10.0s]: SHOT 3 — MCU — 55mm. — CAMERA: three-quarter front of Lulu, eye level, on the room side, the mirror edge and her reflection just visible screen-right. ACTION: Lulu tries again, chin higher, a touch more confident: "My name is Lulu. What's your... what's your..." — but she tangles the words, paw hovering mid-gesture, ears drooping a little, eyes going cross with the muddle. She trails off, blinking at her own tongue-tied reflection. EYELINE: Lulu — SCREEN-RIGHT — at her reflection, then briefly down in embarrassment. SHOT 4 [10.0-12.0s]: SHOT 4 — MS — 40mm. — CAMERA: side-on, eye level, room side, framing Lulu and mirror as she reacts and turns to go. ACTION: Lulu bursts into a sheepish, giggling self-conscious laugh at her own fumble, one paw over her mouth, then gives a friendly little wave to her reflection — the reflection waving back — and pads off SCREEN-RIGHT past the boxes, ears springing back up, resolved to keep practising. Warm dust motes drift in her wake. EYELINE: Lulu — SCREEN-RIGHT at her reflection, then FORWARD as she leaves. 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.
