VIDEO                                                                                                                AUDIO

Establishing shot of Generic Automotive's car lot. There's one vehicle

standing by itself near the showroom.

 

Cut to inside of the dealership where a veteran and a rookie sales rep

are looking out the showroom window at the car. They each have a cup

of coffee.

 

The veteran turns to the rookie and says his line.                                              Veteran: “It's time, you know what to do.”

 

   Rookie: “I'm on it.”

The rookie runs off screen.

 

Cut to a shot of a business woman in a pantsuit and high heels

walking out of a grocery store with bags in hand. You can see her

older vehicle in the shot.

 

Cut to a shot of two young men in their 20s playing 1-on-1 basketball

in a park.

 

While playing, a loud ram's horn goes off over seemingly the whole town

for about 8 seconds. The boy dribbling the basketball stops dribbling and

looks up into the sky.


Quick cut back to the woman who has also stopped in her tracks and is

looking up into the sky until the horn stops.

 

Cut to a shot of the veteran sales rep taking a sip of his coffee and then

looking at his watch.

 

Cut back to the woman with the groceries. She is walking toward her car

again as the horn blasts again. This time, she drops her grocer bags, kicks

off her heels, and takes off running past her car out of the parking lot.

 

Cut to the two playing basketball again. The horn blasts and the boy with

the ball gets the ball stolen because he's looking up at the sky again. He

takes off running out of the park.

 

His opponent then says his line.                                                                             Opponent: “Mike! Where you going?!?”

 

Cut to a slow motion shot of the woman running as the horn blast stops.

 

Cut to a slow motion shot of the young man running. You can hear him yelling

or making noises while running.

 

Cut to a shot from behind the car on the lot as the woman and young man

come into frame running onto the car lot towards the car. The horn blasts

one last time while they are running.

 

The two both reach the car at the same time and put their hand on it as they

are breathing heavy. The horn has stopped and they are just panting.

 

Cut to a shot of the veteran sales rep walking toward the car with a smile.

While on his way, he stops and looks up toward the roof of the dealership.


Cut to a close up of the veteran sales rep looking up.                                             Veteran: “Thanks Steve. I'll take it from here.”

 

Camera pans and zooms out to reveal the rookie sales rep on the roof of the

dealership with a ram's horn in his hand. He's breathing heavily.                            Steve: (said between breaths) “No problem.”

 

Cut to a logo and contact information for Generic Automotive.                                Voiceover: “Come and find the vehicle that is calling you at Generic

                                                                                                                                  Automotive. Located at Generic Street and Example Avenue.”

Cut back to the vehicle with the two potential customers and the veteran

sales rep.                                                                                                                  Mike: (said between breaths) “Dibs.”

 

                                                                                                                                  VO: “Generic Automotive...have you heard the call?”
