Make the Opening Feel Personal
The opening is a direct conversation with the lens. A relaxed expression and an ordinary room give the later exaggeration something to play against: a familiar selfie suddenly becomes a much bigger performance. Choose a photo whose face remains readable at phone size, with light on both eyes and a clear outline around the head. A plain shirt or sweater can help the expression stand out. The illustrated adult here is an invented character, showing a possible mood rather than a required outfit or a face you must copy.
