Dystopian Story Storyboards
Read the opening
At 18:00, every screen in Bellwether turned white. The trains stopped between stations. On the pavement, people lowered their eyes as the familiar chime rang once, then again. Usually, a calm voice followed with the evening instruction. Tonight there was only silence. Mara’s wristband tightened. A red light blinked beneath its clear plastic. Around her, nobody moved. They had all learnt what happened to people who asked the wrong question. Then a message appeared on the largest screen: YOUR BROTHER IS NOT MISSING. Mara had not told anyone her brother was missing.
- It uses a familiar greeting.
- It contradicts what Mara knows and reveals private information.
- It explains the city’s history.

Build your five-frame storyboard
Plan an opening scene. In every frame, note what the reader would see or hear and how the mood changes. Add a camera-style choice (close-up, wide shot, point of view, or another framing idea) to at least two frames.
1. Establish the world: show one ordinary rule or restriction. Sketch and add a caption describing the atmosphere.
2. Introduce the protagonist: show what they want or fear. Include one revealing detail about them.
3. Disrupt the routine: show an event, discovery or choice that unsettles the character.
4. Raise the stakes: show a consequence, threat or difficult decision. Add a sound or sensory detail.
5. End on a hook: show a revelation, unanswered question or looming choice that makes the reader want to continue.
