“Four months. I've only ever used the treadmill.”
Subject: Man, 41, dark brown skin, shaved head, short salt-and-pepper beard, maroon cotton t-shirt, black joggers, white trainers, black fitness band on his left wrist.
Setting: Quiet corner of a neighbourhood gym at 6 pm: cable machines and a dumbbell rack, fluorescent light mixed with daylight from high windows.
Vertical 9:16 medium shot filmed handheld at chest height. A 41-year-old man with dark brown skin, a shaved head and a short salt-and-pepper beard, wearing a maroon cotton t-shirt, black joggers and a black fitness band, in a quiet corner of a neighbourhood gym at 6 pm, cable machines and a dumbbell rack behind him. He stands frozen in front of a cable machine, pulls the weight pin halfway out, stares at it, looks at the lens, and slowly slides the pin back in. Camera holds still with slight handheld drift. Overhead fluorescent light mixed with soft daylight from high windows, natural skin texture, filmed handheld on an iPhone by a friend, unpolished gym-video feel.
