A realistic, documentary-style video filmed outdoors along a roadside near a military base.
Handheld camera with natural, imperfect movement.
Opening shot: the camera slowly moves past a group of young new recruits wearing U.S. military uniforms.
Some are standing, some are sitting on the curb.
Each recruit has personal luggage:
some hold duffel bags in their hands,
some have bags resting by their feet,
others carry backpacks on their shoulders.
They are clearly waiting to go home.
The group includes both men and women, from different ethnic backgrounds.
Some recruits wait quietly, looking down the road.
Others talk softly with each other, sharing brief conversations.
After one continuous pass, the camera cuts to a wide shot.
Many recruits are spread out along the roadside, holding or surrounded by their bags, waiting.
Camera style: handheld, observational documentary recording.
Lighting: natural daylight.
Audio: soft, emotional background music mixed with light outdoor ambient sounds.
No dialogue, no voiceover.
Aspect ratio: 9:16 vertical.
