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 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 16-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: 0-4s medium: Heron shakes his head, the lily pad flies off, and he bends to the shell as it and the rippling river pulse in one deep rhythm; his beak clicks and he freezes in awe. 4-8s close-up: Orest gazes across the water, and at 0:05 he speaks in a low reverent voice, clearly audible, looking at the river. 8-12s medium: Orest kneels, pulls up the moss and presses it into the open basket. 12-16s medium: he lays the shell inside, shuts the lid and beams up at the sun as the willow leaves sway. 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.
