A traditional hand-drawn FILM STORYBOARD SHEET for scene 9: 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. Divide the following 7-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: LANGUAGE: All dialogue is spoken aloud in Russian, word for word as written, natural for a native Russian speaker; every spoken word is Russian. ⭐ BINDING INSTRUCTIONS — read these first and obey them in every shot SPEECH (strict): these are the ONLY spoken lines in this clip. They MUST be spoken aloud, in Russian, word for word, by exactly these characters, in this order, each in that character's own voice — even if the speaker is not in frame at that moment (then the line is heard as off-screen voice while nobody's mouth moves). Nobody says anything else. Lines are HEARD, never shown as text or subtitles. 1. ВАЛЬКА (in frame, lip-sync): "Она меня бросила…" END BINDING INSTRUCTIONS NON-NEGOTIABLE SCENE CONTRACT: - The setting and rendering register stay exactly as established: photorealistic cinematic live-action, warm daytime color grade against cool grey-blue city, teal-and-orange with orange as hero accent, soft natural light, shallow depth of field, fine film grain, no glossy sheen, wet asphalt reflections, dust motes in sunbeams, shop-window reflections. - Acting in this shot: АЛЯ, ВАЛЬКА. - Not present in this shot, do not depict them: БЛОНДИН, КРИСТИНА, ОХРАННИК. DIALOGUE (the only speech, at the start): 0:02.5 @ВАЛЬКА, in close-up, eyes down on the phone held to the right ear, soft breaking tenor voice, clearly audible: "Она меня бросила…" (speaking, lips in sync with dialogue; only Valka's mouth moves). Alya says nothing in this clip, and her mouth stays closed in every shot. CAST (everyone on screen is an adult): @АЛЯ: orange hoodie, long wavy honey-brown hair, swinging arms, the only figure in orange. @ВАЛЬКА: slender, long brown hair in a low ponytail, thin mustache, lilac cardigan, phone in the right hand. No other person is in any shot. OPENING (the reference image at 0:00): a sunlit sidewalk leading toward a business district. Alya, in her orange hoodie, is mid-stride toward the camera on a slight diagonal, left of centre, with her arms swinging. The camera is level, at medium-wide size. 0:00-0:02 Real-time speed. Alya strides along the sidewalk on the slight diagonal and crosses from the left third past the centre of the frame. Her mouth is closed. The camera makes one steady lateral track with her. The clip opens bright, lit by daylight sun from the left. 0:02-0:04 Hard cut. Flashback in a night room lit by one warm bedside lamp to the side of Valka, and no window light. Close-up of Valka in the lilac cardigan, who sobs with the phone pressed to the right ear and says the line at 0:02.5. The camera is static and level. The only movement is the sobbing breath and Valka's mouth. 0:04-0:07 Hard cut. Flashback at an apartment doorway, lit by the warm ceiling lamp of the hallway. Medium shot. Valka, with the phone still in the right hand, pulls the closed door open with the left hand. Alya stands in the doorway in neat jeans and a white blouse, her hair sleek, with her mouth closed and her eyes on Valka. Valka sees her and grabs the doorframe with the left hand. The camera is level and makes one gentle push-in. The shot ends on the motion of the grab. AUDIO: footsteps and street hum on the sidewalk; the lamp-lit room hush with sobbing and Valka's line; the door latch and the creak of the doorframe. CONTRACT CHECKSUM (these override anything above that contradicts them): - The setting and rendering register stay exactly as established: photorealistic cinematic live-action, warm daytime color grade against cool grey-blue city, teal-and-orange with orange as hero accent, soft natural light, shallow depth of field, fine film grain, no glossy sheen, wet asphalt reflections, dust motes in sunbeams, shop-window reflections. - Acting in this shot: АЛЯ, ВАЛЬКА. - Not present in this shot, do not depict them: БЛОНДИН, КРИСТИНА, ОХРАННИК. 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.
