The Arrival

(animation)

Background

A young man/woman is about to have a very important job interview. He/She is nervous. The audience knows nothing about any of this as the scene opens. We have not met this character before, we don't know where he/she is, we don't know what is about to happen, etc.

Direction

Treat this as an animation. Use the special capabilities of animation to enhance your scene. What might you be able to do in animation that would be effective, but that would not be possible in a straight live-action version? Keep your scene to between 30 – 60 seconds running time.

Scene

The young man/woman is in the waiting room before the interview, waiting to be called in.
