Shot#2 (CU. Straight on; low level): Then the black and grey sneaker is shown on its side view tapping in time with same non-diegetic music as shot #1. A blue and white wrapper falls right next to shoe on the stone pavement as soon as the shoe taps again to the non-diegetic music. (3 secs) Cut to
Shot #3 (ECU; straight on): An extreme close- up of a hand is shown opening the top of a red- and white-colored milk carton. In black letters it reads “Thank you for buying Adhor Farms products”. (7 secs) Same sound as shot #1 Cut to
