This storyboard outlines 28 shots for a short film involving a demonic ritual that goes wrong. The shots progress from establishing close-ups of characters' eyes, a ritual being drawn and items being burned, to a group gathering with a laptop showing ritual instructions. Things take a disturbing turn with shots of a bloody knife, wounds, and a dead body being discovered in a bathroom. Later shots grow increasingly graphic and violent, showing a character's head being smashed and burned before a slashed neck. The storyboard ends with a title screen introducing the film as "Ritual".
