The Arrival

(live action)

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 a realistic live-action film. Keep everything natural and realistic, the sort of things that might typically really happen in this situation, nothing bizarre or exaggerated. 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.
