This document contains a storyboard for a 3 minute and 50 second film production. It outlines 53 shots including establishing shots, character introductions, chase sequences, and a climax. The storyboard follows a protagonist as strange figures pursue them through a city, cutting off escape routes. During the chase, the protagonist sees the figures holding pills similar to ones they had earlier. The storyboard ends with the protagonist surrounded in an alley, pulling a pill from their pocket as the figures close in, leaving their decision ambiguous.
