Follow shot / over-the-shoulder

The prompt

Scene paragraph A crowded open-air market street on a bright afternoon, photoreal urban action. Colorful stalls of fruit and fabric with strings of lanterns line both sides, shoppers everywhere. A young Black woman bike courier with short braids, wearing a canary-yellow rain jacket, black cargo pants and a small black backpack, carries a small brown package through the market, her canary-yellow jacket bright against the stalls. Live-action footage shot on 35mm film, real people, natural skin and textures.

Over-the-shoulder follow shot from directly behind her at shoulder height, the camera on a gimbal following at her walking pace from the first second. 0–2s: her shoulder and backpack fill one side of the frame, the market ahead. 2–4s: the camera follows as she weaves between shoppers. 4–6s: a blue door at the end of the street grows larger past her shoulder. 6–8s: she stops at the blue door and knocks, the camera still behind her. Throughout: the camera stays behind her shoulder, one continuous take.
