This storyboard document outlines a series of scenes depicting a protagonist's daily routine. The scenes utilize different camera shots, lighting techniques, and audio elements to subtly reveal details about the protagonist. The storyboard begins with an alarm clock waking the protagonist and progresses through scenes showing morning preparation, a commute, and school activities. It then cuts to scenes of the protagonist writing and images related to a voiceover.
