A medium shot of a man speaking directly to the camera, partially overlaid by a digital note-taking application on a mobile phone screen. The man is positioned centrally, taking up roughly two-thirds of the lower screen, while the white note app, with black text, occupies the top and left side, cutting off part of the man's head and left shoulder. The note reads '3 things I wish I knew buying camera gear as a student' followed by a numbered list and an emoji of a graduation cap and a camera. The man is animated, using hand gestures to emphasize his points. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting his face. The overall color palette is dominated by the man's gray shirt, the white background of the note app, and the dark text, with a small pop of yellow from the graduation cap emoji. The camera is static, focusing on the man's engaging delivery.

A split-screen composition featuring a mobile phone screen displaying an 'Adorama' product page in the upper portion, and a medium close-up of a man gesturing animatedly in the lower portion. The product page, framed with the 'Adorama' logo and a search bar at the top, showcases a 'Sony ZV-E10 Mirrorless Camera' bundle with an image of the camera, lens, bag, and SD card. Below this, a black text box with white sans-serif font reads '#1 Don't buy the latest gear'. The background of the man's shot is a solid white, suggesting a greenscreen effect.

The predominant colors are the whites and grays of the product page, contrasting with the man's grey shirt and skin tones. The camera is static.

The web page advertises 'Pre-Owned Gear You Can Trust', featuring images of a Sony camera and a Tamron lens, along with descriptive text about expertly inspected used gear. A black text box with white lettering is overlaid on the page, stating '#2 buy used !!'. The man, against a white background, continues to speak and gesture, looking directly at the camera.
