Detailed 7-panel storyboard
Panel 1
Scene:
Wide establishing shot of a bright high school classroom during lunch break. Sunlight comes through tall windows. Students chat in the background. Desks are slightly messy with lunch boxes, pencil cases, books, and water bottles. Mia and Zoe sit together by the window at two desks pushed close together.
Mood / action:
Mia is looking out the window dreamily while holding a juice box. Zoe is halfway through opening her lunch and glancing at Mia with curiosity.
Dialogue:
ZOE: “You’ve been staring out that window for five whole minutes.”
ZOE: “What are you thinking about now?”
Panel 2
Scene:
Medium close-up of Mia turning back toward Zoe with a soft embarrassed smile. Her cheeks are slightly pink. In the background, the classroom is softly blurred.
Mood / action:
She hesitates a little before speaking, like she’s afraid Zoe will tease her.
Dialogue:
MIA: “I was just thinking…”
MIA: “The cultural festival might actually be fun this year.”
Panel 3
Scene:
Close-up of Zoe leaning over her lunch tray, raising one eyebrow with an amused expression. One hand holds chopsticks or a fork. She looks skeptical but playful.
Mood / action:
This panel should feel teasing and energetic.
Dialogue:
ZOE: “That doesn’t sound like your real thought.”
ZOE: “Try again.”
Panel 4
Scene:
Smaller reaction panel. Mia looks flustered and defensive, clutching a flyer she picked up from the desk. The flyer is for the school cultural festival. Her eyes dart away shyly.
Mood / action:
She is clearly hiding something.
Dialogue:
MIA: “Okay, maybe I was wondering if we should join something…”
MIA: “…before all the good booths get taken.”
Panel 5
Scene:
Medium shot in the hallway near a colorful school bulletin board filled with club posters, festival notices, handmade signs, and doodles. Mia and Zoe are now standing in front of the board after leaving the classroom. Mia is holding the flyer with both hands. Zoe stands beside her, reading the posters.
Mood / action:
A more exploratory, hopeful mood. The environment should feel rich with school-life details.
Dialogue:
MIA: “Look! The art club still needs volunteers.”
ZOE: “And the class café needs people too.”
ZOE: “Please tell me you’re not choosing based on which one sounds more romantic.”
Panel 6
Scene:
Closer two-shot. Mia looks a little guilty but smiles sheepishly. Zoe points at her with a knowing grin. The bulletin board is still visible behind them, including colorful posters and handwritten notes.
Mood / action:
Friendly teasing between close friends.
Dialogue:
MIA: “Maybe a little…”
ZOE: “I knew it.”
MIA: “But if we do it together, it could be really fun.”
ZOE: “Hmm.”
Panel 7
Scene:
Final larger panel. Mia and Zoe walk down the sunlit school corridor together toward the sign-up table or toward the bulletin board, both smiling. Mia looks excited and relieved. Zoe has one hand raised casually, like she’s already decided. Other students pass in the background. The corridor feels bright, youthful, and full of life.
Mood / action:
Warm ending with friendship and anticipation.
Dialogue:
ZOE: “Alright, let’s do it.”
MIA: “Really?”
ZOE: “Of course.”
ZOE: “If this becomes a disaster, I want front-row seats.”
MIA: “That still counts as support.”
