A film storyboard reference sheet: ONE image divided into a 2x2 grid of four equal 16:9 photo panels with thin black borders, no text, no numbers. All four panels show the SAME moment in the SAME old Saint Petersburg theatre as image 1, during a performance, house lights dimmed, the audience in soft darkness, the stage brightly lit. The bearded man from image 2 (exactly that face; dark jacket, grey knitted scarf) sits in the SAME red velvet seat in every panel: row 7, the fourth seat from the right-hand aisle, with the SAME neighbours (on his left an elderly woman in a dark cardigan, on his right a young man in a grey sweater). The grey backpack from image 3 stands upright on his lap, zipper slightly open, only the eyes and the top of the transparent skull of the woman from image 3 visible in the gap. The usher, the elderly lady from image 4 in a dark uniform jacket, stands in that right-hand aisle at the end of his row. Everyone, including the man, looks toward the stage. Panel 1 (top left): wide shot from behind the audience, from the back of the hall, over the dark rows toward the bright stage; the man, the backpack and the usher in the aisle are visible from behind in row 7. Panel 2 (top right): medium shot from the stage side looking back at the audience: the man in row 7 faces the camera and the stage, his eyes on the stage slightly to the left of the lens, his face lit warmly by the stage light; the dark rows rise behind him; the neighbours on both sides also watch the stage. Panel 3 (bottom left): close-up in left profile from the right-hand aisle: the man looks to the left of the frame toward the stage, stage light on his face, the dark row and his neighbour behind him softly out of focus. Panel 4 (bottom right): close-up of the backpack on his lap from the front and slightly above: the woman's eyes in the zipper gap, lit by the stage, his hands holding the backpack.
