one plain stoneware cup of black coffee on the walnut sill of a fogged window, cup in the lower-right third, grey fog in the glass filling the upper two-thirds, no person in frame
"The fall roast is here."
The first frame has to say the season changed before a thumb swipes, so it opens on fog in the glass and one cup; the cup sits low-right so the hook line owns the empty upper frame.
the drum roaster door open and dark beans pouring into the round perforated cooling tray, the stirring arm turning, a thin plume of roast smoke, gloved hands at the tray edge lower-left, the sight glass glowing as the single accent, upper third clear
"Fog Line. Roasted this week."
The roast arrives as an action, beans dropping out of the drum, which is the moment the brand's motion rule says a cut should land on; the low angle and slow push make one machine in a small room read as the hero.
freshly roasted dark beans heaped in the perforated steel cooling tray, a faint oil sheen on some beans, the stirring arm blade crossing the lower-right, beans filling the lower two-thirds and falling off into shadow in the upper third
"Dark cocoa, fig, cedar."
The taste line needs something to sit on that is only the coffee, so this is the one frame with no room and no hands; the beans fall into shadow at the top to give the tasting notes a dark field.
roaster seen from behind at the fogged window, holding a plain stoneware cup in both hands at chest height, back of the head and shoulders soft, figure in the lower-right, upper-left open
"One batch a day, all season."
The payoff is the first cup of the new roast, shown from behind so the brand never shows a face selling the coffee; it returns to the fogged window from shot_01 so the film closes the loop it opened.
one plain unprinted kraft paper coffee bag with a folded top standing on the walnut counter beside a small stoneware cup, both in the lower third, the dark roastery soft behind, upper two-thirds dark and clear
"Limited run. Order in the shop."
"Harbor Roast"
The CTA needs the thing you can buy, a bag, held still for three seconds as the timing rules ask at 15s; the bag is unprinted so the name and the call to order are composited in brand type, never generated.
