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 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 — MS — 40mm. — CAMERA: ahead of Marina, eye level, looking across the desk at her holding the thick folder. ACTION: Marina stands behind the LAW-OFFICE DESK facing camera, both hands on the open THICK FILE FOLDER; she claps the fat folder shut with both hands in one dry motion and levels a flat deadpan look at camera; green lamp glows screen-right, blue-framed window dusk screen-left. EYELINE: MARINA looks SCREEN-DOWN at the folder, then flat TOWARD CAMERA. SHOT 2 [2.0-4.0s]: SHOT 2 — MS — 45mm. — CAMERA: Marina. Ahead, eye level, slightly tighter on Marina behind the closed folder, verdict landing. ACTION: Marina keeps the folder pressed shut under one hand and delivers her dry verdict flat to camera, not a flicker of a smile. EYELINE: MARINA holds flat TOWARD CAMERA. SHOT 3 [4.0-6.0s]: SHOT 3 — MWS→WS — 30mm. — CAMERA: Marina. Hard cut to the CAFE VERANDA — high angle, ahead of the OILCLOTH TABLE, looking down over the four women seated around it under the yellow lanterns. ACTION: Marina, seated screen-left at the OILCLOTH TABLE, raises her glass toward the group centre and drops her toast lightly; Sonya, seated screen-right, lifts her glass and cuts in agreement; Asya, seated background, nods dreamily; Kira, seated foreground facing the group, laughs warmly and clinks her glass against the others; midges swirl in the yellow lantern glow, warm smiles all round. EYELINE: MARINA looks SCREEN-RIGHT toward Kira across the table; SONYA looks SCREEN-LEFT toward Marina; KIRA looks up around the group, laughing. 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.
