Save referenceStakes & Tension
Two riders balancing huge loads of bananas weave through moving traffic, and the danger needs no caption. The real street scene does what a staged shot cannot, it makes you feel the risk. The title names the stakes, the image lets you watch them wobble.
Title
It brands the danger series and names the exact place and people.
Thumbnail
It shows the overloaded bikes actually threading through traffic.
When risk is your story, show the risky act mid-motion in its real setting. If you teach, the same rule holds, one authentic working shot beats a posed one.
Show the risky act mid-motion, not posed.
