A medium close-up shot frames a young Black man standing in a bright, evenly lit room. He is positioned slightly left of center, facing forward, with a large white whiteboard behind him, partially visible on the right. The background is a clean, plain light gray wall. He initially speaks directly to the camera with an open, friendly expression, then turns his head and torso slightly to his right (viewer's left), his gaze shifting towards the whiteboard as if preparing to write. He holds a black marker loosely in his right hand. The dominant color palette features the vibrant red and cream of his varsity jacket, contrasting with a plain white t-shirt and the bright white of the whiteboard. White script text overlays the scene: 'Ask Jake' prominently centered, with smaller 'GLAMOUR x State Farm' logos beneath.
0:01writing on whiteboard
This brief medium close-up shot captures the young Black man in the process of writing on the white whiteboard. His body is now turned mostly away from the camera, with his right shoulder and arm prominently in the foreground as he uses a black marker to meticulously write the word 'CAREERS' in bold, black capital letters across the upper left section of the board. The background consists of the whiteboard and the continued light gray wall. The lighting remains consistent—bright and frontal, casting minimal shadows and emphasizing the sharp contrast between the black text and the white board. There are no on-screen text overlays during this action-focused segment. The color scheme is dominated by the red and cream of his jacket against the white board and gray wall.
0:02host with question overlay
The scene returns to a medium close-up of the young Black man, now facing the camera again, though his gaze frequently shifts downwards. He stands in front of the whiteboard, which now clearly displays the word 'CAREERS' written in black capital letters. The background is the same consistent light gray wall. The lighting is bright and even, illuminating his face and jacket. He holds a closed black folder or book in both hands at waist level, appearing to read from it. A prominent, rounded rectangular graphic labeled 'Question' appears in the lower right quadrant of the screen. This overlay has a white background with black text, posing the question: 'I'm looking for a new job and honestly, it feels overwhelming. Where do I even start?' The man's expression is thoughtful and empathetic as he seemingly processes the question.
0:06host speaking to camera
This medium close-up shot features the young Black man speaking directly and engagingly to the camera. The whiteboard with 'CAREERS' written at the top is visible behind him to his left, serving as a subtle thematic backdrop. The light gray wall completes the background. The lighting remains consistently bright and even, ensuring clear visibility of his expressive face and gestures. He uses animated hand movements and gestures to emphasize his points as he speaks, conveying energy and confidence. Towards the end of the scene, white script text overlays appear: first 'See you next time on...', followed by 'Ask Jake' in a larger, more prominent font, and finally, the 'GLAMOUR x State Farm' logos beneath. The color palette is dominated by the bold red and cream of his jacket, contrasting with his white shirt and the neutral background, maintaining a clean and professional aesthetic.
