Wan video

A college marching band takes the field for the halftime show on a hot Friday night, stadium lights blazing, the stands packed. Plain red and white uniforms with no lettering, tall white plumes. Sports-documentary look, handheld energy. Shot 1 [0-7s] Inside the dark stadium tunnel, tracking backward ahead of the drumline: twelve snare drummers march toward the camera, sticks clicking a fast cadence that echoes off the concrete. Shot 2 [7-15s] Hard cut: the band bursts out of the tunnel onto the field and the crowd rises; the camera runs low alongside the drum major, a woman in a tall white plumed hat, as she struts and high-steps. Shot 3 [15-22s] Hard cut, close-up: snare sticks blur in slow motion, sweat flying off the drummers' faces, tubas swinging in unison behind them. Shot 4 [22-30s] Hard cut, high wide shot from the top of the stands: the whole band locks into formation, the drum major throws her mace high into the lights and catches it, and the stadium roars. Sound: a thundering drum cadence, brass blasting a fanfare, the crowd roaring. No dialogue.

Handheld selfie video shot at arm's length. The young man from Image 1, in his mustard corduroy jacket, walks through the record store from Image 2, flips through a crate, stops and pulls out the record from Image 3. He holds it up next to his face toward the camera, grins and says excitedly: "Found it. Finally." Afternoon sun through the front window. Audio 1 plays from the store speakers under the whole clip.
