A situation in my daily life where I feel like I'm on display. I'd have to say work. I work at the Segundo dinning commends. I am subject to the prolonged observation of customers management and the ever present cameras which I can only assume to be installed. Working behind a booth at a buffet grants a strange relationship between employee and customers. First of all I am ever aware of the gaze, I am literally surrounded by all sides people who's attentions is turned to me. I am in uniform so that I am easy to identify. Working at a buffet is different than other restaurant work, I don't take orders and interaction with customers is very minimal, I would describe situation some what like The Panopticon. Only instead of being a prisoner I am more like furniture, I am not to be kept in but to provide a service; The gaze is ever present and being on the clock, even when no one can see you, in stills a sense of duty to do one's job. Both responsibility to co-workers and customers keeps me in check preventing me form slacking off.
The production note I would use to cast this as an add and capture the feeling would be.
The employee is working at a station.
He is smaller then the customers he is serving, he is wearing in gray, black, or white the worker also clean, quiet, well mannered, efficient
the worker should seem unimportant and embody and sever as an extension of the kitchen
The customers should ware bright colours, be energetic, and unique, the should be taller and stand out form the back ground, they should be attractive and in groups.
The customers should seem important and embody what the target of the add wants to be and feel like when in a restaurant ie part of the group.
