Story idea:
A waiter cleaning tables and finds a diamond ring. He inspects the ring, then looks around to check if anyone’s looking. He sneaks the ring into his pocket and leaves.
Cleaning table scene: is there a trolley for the dirty plates? (look up waiter trolley for model reference). Or does the waiter place the dirty places on his hand or on a tray that he carries by hand? Should there even be plates/bowls? What about him just wiping the table instead? Or just moving plates from the table to the trolley?
The ring: where was it placed on the table? Under a plate? How does the waiter find it? Does he move a plate to the side and find the ring? Does it fall on the floor, so he crouches down and picks it up?
Picking up the ring: the waiter picks up and inspects the ring in curiosity. (Does it have to be a ring or can it be a pocket watch? With a photo inside? or something that indicates a further story to be told? a personal heirloom? maybe that’s too much for 6 secs) He places the ring close to his face to take a closer look, his eyes go wide admiring the ring’s beauty/realizing how much value the ring holds. Camera focuses on the ring for 1-2 sec (to emphasize its beauty, the ring will twinkle/sparkle a bit), then it switches focus to the waiter’s change in facial expressions.
Looking around & sneaking off scene: For the sneakily vibe, look at the example below for reference.
He cups the ring in his hand and looks around, making sure no one sees him. He puts the ring in his pocket, then walks away with the trolley. He might also be whistling, pretending like nothing happened. (6 secs)
