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 16:9 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 6-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: WORLD LOCK: Physical anchors remain strictly established: the scalloped brick rosebed (Anchor 1) in the foreground right, the cream suburban house porch (Anchor 2) in the background, the brass-trimmed watering can (Anchor 3), and the driveway asphalt (Anchor 4). Margot Dale (Character 0) begins standing at Anchor 1 on the lawn in the right-third, depth midground to foreground. AXIS LOCK: The line of action extends from Margot's rosebed toward the street. The camera remains strictly on the street-side facing the porch. Margot faces screen-left; camera stays front-left. SHOT LIST: [T=0.0-3.5s] SHOT 1 — MS — 50mm. CAMERA: Eye level, handheld with slight organic float, framing Margot from the waist up. MOVE: Subtle handheld push-in toward Margot over T=0.0-3.5s, tightening framing. ACTION: Margot tilts the brass watering can over the scarlet rose blooms at screen-right, the stream flowing evenly. Her head turns slightly toward screen-left, offering a bright, poised suburban smile to an unseen passerby down the street. She holds the smile a beat too long before her expression subtly flattens. EYELINE: Margot looks screen-left across the street at an unseen neighbor. HARD CUT at T=3.5s. [T=3.5-6.0s] SHOT 2 — CU — 85mm. CAMERA: Low angle looking up at Margot's face and shoulder from screen-left. MOVE: Handheld micro-shake with slight vertical tilt up following hand movement. ACTION: Margot raises her right hand, casually and deliberately tucking a loose strand of hair behind her right ear with a smooth, practiced motion while the watering can in her left hand lowers out of frame. Her lips part slightly as she exhales silently, gaze drifting from screen-left downward toward the wet earth. EYELINE: Margot looks down and screen-left toward the base of the rose bushes. END FRAME: Margot in tight close-up, hand still resting beside her ear, subtle tension in her jaw against the warm morning sunlight flare. RELATIONS ARE PHYSICAL: Margot interacts directly with the rosebush and watering can, anchoring herself to her manicured property while greeting the street at depth. INFORMATION CHANGED: Margot completes watering the final rose and retracts her gaze, signaling her private withdrawal. SILENCE: Diegetic hiss of water hitting wet soil, morning bird chirps, gentle rustle of leaves. SPOKEN LINE — AUTHORITATIVE, overrides any line quoted earlier in this prompt: The only words spoken, in English, verbatim: МАРГО: "В то утро я в последний раз полила свои розы. К обеду меня уже не было." МАРГО: "Но пока — доброе утро, Ларк-Лейн. Улица, где каждая дверь безупречна ровно настолько, насколько глубок секрет за ней." Any other quoted line above is outdated — do not speak it, in any language. 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.
