The storyboard

4 shots, 15 seconds planned. Each still is the keyframe for its shot. The direction beside it describes the action and the camera.

  1. Shot 1, Hotel from above: the storyboard stillShot 1

    0:006s

    Hotel from above

    Framing
    Aerial shot widening to an extreme wide shot
    Camera movement
    One long drone move that pulls far back and rises, zooming out from the terrace to the whole cliff, bay and coastline

    A drone shot starts close above the sea-facing terrace of the small white limestone hotel: two open white French doors with sheer curtains, the bistro table, the olive tree and the white balustrade at the cliff edge, the deep blue sea beyond. No people.

  2. Shot 2, Terrace table: the storyboard stillShot 2

    0:063s

    Terrace table

    Framing
    Close up
    Camera movement
    Static, shallow depth of field

    On the limestone terrace a white ceramic cup of coffee with a thin curl of steam and a single golden croissant on a white plate rest on the round black bistro table, the calm blue sea behind. Nobody in the shot.

  3. Shot 3, Guest wakes: the storyboard stillShot 3

    0:093s

    Guest wakes

    Framing
    Medium shot
    Camera movement
    Static, very slow drift to the right

    The guest sits up in the king bed against the white pillows, smiling softly as she turns her face toward the open doors and the light.

  4. Shot 4, Balcony view: the storyboard stillShot 4

    0:123s

    Balcony view

    Framing
    Wide shot
    Camera movement
    Slow crane up and back to reveal the coast

    The guest stands at the limestone balustrade with her back to the camera, holding the coffee cup, looking out over the calm blue sea in the morning sun.

The brief

A boutique hotel ad about the perfect first morning. A drone reveals the hotel and its coastline, a guest wakes in the sunlit suite, coffee waits on the terrace, and she steps out to take in the ocean.

Visual style

Luxury travel commercial, natural morning light from frame right, soft airy whites and sand tones with a deep blue sea, golden glow, gentle slow camera moves, shallow depth of field.
