SCROLL
Overview
Series Concept:
A series of short-form videos (average 30-60 seconds or less.)
Dynamic, fun, natural tone and editing style, with fast paced cuts.
Creating a sense of the subject/model exploring the city she lives in, having fun and going about her day without any rush.
Featuring outdoor locations with attractive landmarks, such as historical buildings, colourful art and murals, trees and parks, fountains and sculptures, bridges and waterfronts, etc.
Potential scenes
Optional "scenarios" to explore while shooting on location:
Walking and exploring the streets (majority of the videos.)
Reading a book under a tree on the grass.
Exploring a vintage bookshop.
Exploring an outdoor market.
Sitting on the edge of a fountain.
Posing in front of colourful art murals.
Enjoying a takeway coffee.
Posing/playing around multiple historic/aesthetic areas.
Visual Style
Potential Shots
Wide shots
Showing the subject's full body in well-composed environments, to establish the location they are in.
Medium shots
Showing the subject from the waist up, for example, to show more details and actions.
Close up shots
Showing the subjects face for focused moments, or potentially hands, shoes, etc to show style/outfit details.
See this entire page for intended shot examples!
Emotional Tone
Fun, free, relaxed, explorative, silly, carefree.
Color & Tone
Ideally we will be able to shoot in the morning or evening during golden hour to capture warm, soft light.

These creative tests will be shot vertically, for instagram.
Most likely using a DJI gimbal for smooth movement.
