Storyboard

An attractive young woman aged between 24-28 wearing a knee length tight black dress is standing over a bathroom sink applying eyeliner. She

puts the pencil down and pucks her lips together examining her appearance. She lightly sprays the substance on her neck and wrists.

Suddenly feeling energised, she grabs the door frame and swings herself out of the bathroom into the bedroom. She glides through her apartment, grabs

her bag off the kitchen counter and fly's out the door.

Standing by the elevator she taps her foot impatiently. Rather then wait for the elevator, she walks over to the window and pulls it open. Stepping out onto the fire escape, she swings her legs around a pole gracefully sliding

down to the ground floor.

Dropping gracefully to the ground at the main door to her building, she fluffs her effortlessly perfect hair and whistles the signal for a

cab. Instantly a cab pulls into the curb.

In the following scene she is in warehouse full of male models, strapped in a harness flying through the air, snapping photos.

In the scene after that we see her on the floor of the warehouse, examining the photos she took on a laptop. Noticing one of the models checking her out, she turns an smiles at him flirtatiously.

As the models are leaving she jogs over to them, grabbing the hand of the model she smiled at her. She whispers “pleasure working with you”,

confidently winks at him, and then returns back to her laptop. The model looks down at his hand to the note she slipped into his palm

revealing her phone number.

In the next shot she is opening the door to her apartment. She flicks on the light, illuminating the dark room, indicating its night time.

Placing her bag on the kitchen counter, and kicking off her shoes she walks into her bathroom.

In the bathroom her voiceover whispers, “it’s beauty, it’s love, it’s confidence” as she steps out of her dress and into the shower. The

camera tilts up to see the shadow of her in the shower, before panning across to the bottle of perfume still on the counter. The girl

then utters, “It’s invincible”.
