This document contains a storyboard and shotlist for a 44-frame film. The storyboard is divided into two parts and lists each shot, describing its composition such as mid-shot or close-up. Shots include people entering a building, characters dancing at a party, lip syncing, applying makeup, giving a jealous look, and characters walking away holding hands at the end. The document explains that the original storyboard was adapted after preliminary shooting, as some shots did not fit the genre or would be difficult to capture with available equipment.

26. Using storyboards This is the adapted version of my storyboard, the original was easy to follow but after some preliminary shooting I realised that some shots were not going to fit with the genre and wouldn’t be easy to capture with the equipment available. I had 44 frames and I have photographed each one to show you.
