Third National Video Ideas:

30 Second Opening Flashing Intense Highlights, Similar to The Trailer, Cuts Out and Starts with "X Number of Hours To Drop Site." This tagline can be a subtitle that shows during a few sections leading up to the main point.

Restrain heavy music from some sections and prioritize a minute or so of raw, clean audio. We can buy more mics for this. Intense music should be like a soundtrack that goes from Intro > Drop Site > Speech > Pick Up > Aftermath. In between there should be shots with light ambience and simple tones over crisp audio.

Starting shots should include clips of transit. Bags zipping up. Jackets being folded. Van doors sliding shut. Audio of organizers dictating schedule, conduct, pep talks.

After that, some short dark clips of the checkpoint, then straight into drilling. Audio of men instructing, cut to clips of shieldbearers hoisting their equipment, strapping on their protective gear, donning their dress code items. Final affirmations of plans and regimentation from instructors and team leaders.

Cute intense music during Drop Site Section. Include usual banter and sounds.

Music slows as march enters early tempo. Wind, boots on concrete, flags fluttering, anticipation ambience, builds as cops begin to flank the march. Crescendo as the formation enters speech grounds.

Then we can figure out a way to transition from the Exfil to the Aftermath.

I want this to be unlike a documentary like we did previously, the dialogue is all directed at people other than the camera. It's all candid (even if we give guys lines). This way we can capitalize on the additional cameras and equipment, provide a more high-fi experience, while not taking away from any niches that M2R may want to fill.

Thoughts?
