Storyboard

The story starts with a Wide Shot showing the whole clean, empty hallway as Billy starts his pranks, immediately establishing the contrast between the sterile setting and the chaos. The physical comedy relies on Medium Shots to clearly show the main action (like stringing the teacher up), immediately followed by Insert Shots that zoom in tightly on the humiliating details, such as the Sharpie-written sign, the finger pointing during the expulsion, or the "wet willy." The camera will use a Dutch Tilt during the misdemeanor montage and the final chase to make the action look unstable and fast.

To maximize the comedic effect, Close-Ups are vital; they zoom right in on the actors' faces to push the joke. You'll use the telephoto end of the lens for tight shots on Billy’s maniacal laughter and Principal Weenie's ugly scowl, making their expressions fill the entire screen. Finally, the camera uses Low Angle Shots when Billy is walking out and when he fights the principal, shooting from below to make him look powerful and superior—like the "badass" victor—against the sad, defeated adults.
