PracticeStoryboarding

The Last Seat on the Bus

A student running late sees one empty seat inside a moving bus. Create a story around what happens while they try to reach it. Task: Create a 6-frame storyboard showing the sequence from spotting the seat to the final outcome. You may introduce other passengers, obstacles, unexpected events, or a humorous ending. Challenge: Show movement and time progression clearly through body language, repeated objects, changing positions, and framing. Aesthetic direction: Energetic urban India. Make the frames feel like moments captured from a fast-paced animated film.
