0–2s: MS, overhead. Beaming at pay notification.
2–3s: MS, overhead. Same pose, blank stare.
Vertical 9:16 two-shot sequence with a hard jump cut. A 27-year-old Black woman with long box braids in a high bun, wearing a mustard chunky-knit sweater and a small gold nose stud, in a bedroom in the evening, sitting on a bed with a grey throw and fairy lights on the headboard. Shot one: she lies on the bed holding her phone above her face, beaming as a pay notification lights the screen. Shot two: same position, she slowly lowers the phone to her chest with a blank stare. Warm fairy lights and a soft bedside lamp, natural skin texture, shot on iPhone front camera, handheld, unpolished home lighting. Her voiceover says: "Payday. Then day nine."
Dialogue (Retail supervisor, late 20s): "Payday. Then day nine."
