THREE SPOTS IN TWO DAYS.
The recommended locations are based on two criteria: 1) creatively, they offer the visual tonality and simplicity to help us tell our stories, and 2) their close proximity to each other make the logistics of capturing three wonderful spots in two days achievable. As you click forward, we’ll walk through the key frames—the key beats—of each of our stories, as seen through our locations.
There’s ANDREAS, in his tweed suit, walking into the front lawn of 151 ALBURY to check on his friend, Felix.
A SINGLE of ANDREAS, for his first line of dialog, and the visual impact of a beautiful background.
An equally pleasing background for FELIX’S SINGLE.
And here’s ANDREAS, again. Now seated at a table, sipping tea while holding the leads of two English Bulldogs.
And lastly, ANDREAS, riding a PENNY FARTHING around FELIX on the ample, flat front lawn our reco location provides.
And now… JOSH’S MUM and DAD, seated at the kitchen table in our reco kitchen, 159 ALBANY, where MUM is letting DAD know they need to send their son a little cash.
A closer 2-SHOT, to see the FRAMED FAMILY PHOTOS we’ll take during wardrobe fittings and place on the shelves behind DAD, and to see the looks of concern on the parents’ faces as they imagine what might happen if the money takes too long to get to JOSH.
Which brings us to the large, empty parking lot we’re recommending, WARREN FARM, the parking lot we will…
…transform into the AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK, to see JOSH asleep in his tent with a glowing lantern, to see CREEPY CRAWLERS stroll into the tent, to hear JOSH scream.
And then it’s back to the KITCHEN, as JOSH’S SISTER walks in to let her parents know about WISE.
Which is when we’ll CUT…
…to our recommended APARTMENT, 205 GLASSWORKS, where JOSH we’ll be seen on the couch, and DOWNTOWN SYDNEY will be seen out the window, like this. Or…
…like this. Or…
…like this. We’ll bring in a different couch—one the SNAKE can fit under—a different chair, a coffee table, a different rug, and some additional key props to help convey we’re in AUSTRALIA.
INSERT, of JOSH’S PHONE, to see him receiving the money in the WISE APP. And then…
…a CLOSE-UP of his socked feet, to see a SNAKE under the couch.
And then a shot of the apartment building’s CORRIDOR, to hear JOSH scream, just like he did when his parents imagined him in the outback.
CONSULTATION ROOM 1, our recommended HAIR TREATMENT PREP ROOM. That’s PATIENT 1 on our left, and PATIENT 2 sitting across from him. The room gives us so much—the correct floor for a medical prep room, the correct wall color, the correct ceiling. All we have to do is bring in the correct furniture and props, which you’ll see an example of on the following page…
And those FRAMES on the wall? They’ll contain images of before-and-after hair treatments.
Here’s a SINGLE of PATIENT 1 complaining about how much he’s being charged for using his bank card abroad.
Here’s a SINGLE of PATIENT 2 telling PATIENT 1 about the benefits of having a WISE card.
And here is The Hungry Olive, our recommended bar / restaurant counter, where PATIENT 2 takes out his WISE CARD and pays for their drinks / food.
Which is when we’d CUT to behind them, to see that the back of PATIENT #1’s head is completely BALD.
And THAT is how we shoot three spots in two days.
