Name and role for an interview or documentary subject
04A garage workshop with a long workbench, a pegboard of hand tools and a half-open roller door, a red tool chest beside the bench, daylight from the roller door and a lamp on the bench. Photoreal live-action documentary interview footage. A woman in her fifties with cropped black hair and a white streak, round tortoiseshell glasses and an olive canvas apron, the olive apron dusted with sawdust, sits in the right third of the frame, talking to someone just off camera. A lower-third graphic is already on screen in the very first frame and never moves: a white bar at the bottom left with the name 【MARA LIND】 above the title 【MASTER CARPENTER】 in a clean sans-serif. 0–4s: she talks and gestures with one hand. 4–8s: she pauses, smiles and keeps talking. Throughout: locked-off medium shot, the still lower third visible for the whole clip, one continuous take, no subtitles.
Have the lower third on screen in the first frame and never move. Sliding in within a second, the longer word misspelled twice (CARPEMEN, CARPENT); held still, it was exact for the whole clip. The white bar didn't render, only the text.
