After seeing the mood for my film opening, here's the storyboard! I went with a comic style because honestly, what better way to capture sid's chaotic brain than panels that show exactly what's happening in his head, right?
The storyboard for "In Between"Â is basically Sid's emotional rollercoaster in picture form from total chaos to that one magical "aha!" moment where things kinda click. We kick things off with his desk (a literal disaster zone that would make Marie Kondo cry herself to sleep) because let's be real, nothing says "teenage crisis" better than a workspace that looks like it survived a paper tornado. That overhead shot looking down at his textbook? Classic "I should care about this but I really, really don't" energy.
Then we get all up in his personal space with that over-the-shoulder view (hello, welcome to Sid's world of silent screaming), and zoom in on his face where you can practically see the thoughts bouncing around like a chaotic game of ping-pong. His whole vibe sprawled out, mindlessly tapping that pencil, staring into the abyss of his ceiling, screams "I'm physically here but mentally I'm anywhere but."
But then! The plot twist! He grabs his camera, and suddenly our boy's actually present. That click of the shutter is the first time we see him actually care about something, like he's found this tiny island of "this matters" in an ocean of "whatever." The whole storyboard isn't just showing what's happening—it's basically mapping out Sid's journey from "what am I even doing?" to "oh wait, maybe THIS is my thing." Classic coming-of-age stuff, but make it visual, you know?
