How to storyboard a walk to the window and a quiet pause

Establish the window in the room, follow the approach, and observe the pause from the side and behind. This example compares looking at the character with looking along their direction of attention, without relying on dialogue.

Camera blocking and composition

The character arrives at seven seconds and then idles. The rear view is not a strict point-of-view shot, and no exterior event is staged. Those are story choices to develop in your own copy. The last camera slowly pulls back, placing the character within the wider space.
