3.1 PRE-PRODUCTION

Figure 3.1-1: Storyline, Week 6 (31/05/25)

The storyline is based on the 3rd scenario: City + Transport + Exterior Atmosphere. The original storyline included a segment where the character exits the train and walks to their university; however, during editing, the final audio reached the two-minute mark soon after the character boards the train, so I ended the audio there instead of dragging it out.
