Scene breakdown
Olivia (26), an onlookers dream of the life she lives as a consultant in a top firm, yet deep down she is unfulfilled and miserable.
At the office, Olivia is having a long day with lots of tasks and responsiblities, within the hustle movement of people in the firm,

Execution
To create depth, we make use of 2 piles and put main character table in between, with a few table behind the wall to create rows.
We have 1 monitor and 2 laptops but 3 table viewable from camera, we decided to let the background person on the left talking on the phone while writing using pen & pencils, while put 1 laptop for background actors on the right. Laptop and the big monitor go for Olivia.
Small details added like the wall as memo board, clock, family picture frames.
