Interesting idea and nicely done.
I'm all for this and for bringing in the non-gambling types. (Cause once you get addicted you play)!
Here's my idea...
EXT - LONGSHOT - RACE TRACK - EARLY MORNING
A quiet and foggy morning but in the bg we HEAR the sound of hooves growing louder. Camera holds for a few beats.
SMASH CUT - RACETRACK - MED. SHOT
Stretch run as in the bg we HEAR the racecaller, his voice excited and growing louder, louder. Camera pans in.
CUT TO CROWDS
Assorted shots, well dressed types, screaming, waving tickets.
CUT TO FINISH LINE
In the bg we hear crowds and the racecaller as one horse puts a nose in front. Continue to hear assorted bg as the jock leans over smiling, patting the winner.
Assorted shots, excited players holding winning tickets, hugging, drinking, celebrating.
DISSOLVE TO EXT - OUTDOOR RESTAURANT
Pan in to the two bored looking, twenty-something, nicely dressed women having morning coffee.
WOMAN #1
So what do you want to do today?
WOMAN #2
(Sighs. Bored. Reluctant).
I
guess we could hit the mall and then...
WOMAN #1
(Interrupting. Sudden)
I've got a better idea.
(Leans in and smiles, as if to share a dirty little secret. Lowers her voice)
CLOSE UP
Lets go to the track.
EXT - RACE TRACK - MED. SHOT - THE TWO WOMAN
excited, watching races, stretch run in the bg, celebrating.
DISSOLVE BACK TO EARLY MORNING RACETRACK
We continue to hear the hooves grow louder and as they come into the frame
ANNOUNCER VO
So..... what are
you doing today?
Horse continues on and exits SHOT, camera holds.
SMASH CUT
MONTAGE, assorted shots, very quick with loud music (Caribbean? Something centering on drums) for about 7 seconds ending suddenly with single almost deafening drum beat and NTRA logo.
