The storyboard document outlines 56 scenes depicting a day in the life of a protagonist. Each scene includes details about the mise-en-scene, camera shot, lighting, sound, duration and editing. Scenes mainly follow the protagonist through daily routines and involve flashbacks. Jump cuts are used to transition between most scenes, with some scenes repeating motifs or sounds from earlier scenes.
