0–2s: Top-down WS. Bottles cover the worktop.
2–3s: MCU. Tilt up to deadpan face.
Vertical 9:16 top-down handheld shot that tilts up to his face. A 40-year-old Indian man with short black hair, a short greying beard, a maroon henley with sleeves pushed up and a tea towel over one shoulder, in a compact galley kitchen in the morning with white subway tiles and a wooden worktop. The whole wooden worktop is covered edge to edge with baby bottles, teats and lids drying on a soggy tea towel. He leans into frame over the mess and looks at the lens, completely deadpan. Top-down, then a quick tilt up. Bright soft morning daylight from the window over the sink, handheld, shot on iPhone, natural skin texture, unpolished home footage.
Dialogue (Dad of a newborn in a small flat, 40): "This was our counter. Every single day."
