Draw The Line

 * Before You Start Drawing Storyboards, Look At This Floor Plan!
 * Look at the floor plan for this movie. Then draw a line between the two people in the story.  Unless they move or unless you move the camera while crossing the line, never jump across this line.  Rule: You must never cut from a shot on one side of the line to a different shot on the other side of the line.

The wall with the poster, the old person and the young person

Be careful when you cross the line between the Young Person and the Old Person.
