The screens illuminates her face and we see the shadows of text she is reading across her face. It read "Extra Glam Makeup Tutorial" across the tops of her cheeks and the brim of her nose.

Harrison Ford stands in a large room that seems to be inside a temple or church of some sort. The walls are made of sand colored stone with large windows of curved shapes. The windows let warm light in from the outside. Ford wears the classic Indiana Jones outfit: a brown hat, brown leather jacket, whit button-up and black tie. He raises his iconic whip in his right hand, bracing to use it. His face looks like one of shock or surprise, as if caught off guard by whoever stands in front of him out of view. His eyes are wide, his mouth slightly open but tensed.

Jennifer Lawrence sits in a booth at a restaurant. The booth is a wooden bench with a wood paneled wall beside it. Her hair is up in a pony-tail with strands of wavy hair framing her face. Lawrence wears a white tank-top with navy blue stripes. A tall glass of a light brown liquid sits in front of her, topped with a lemon wedge and mint leaves. Lawrence plays with the straw in the drink. She smiles closed lipped at whoever is sitting in front of her. Its a forced smile that doesn't reach her eyes.

Scarlett Johansson stares straight ahead out of a window. She is in a bathroom, a turquoise bathtub can be seen behind her with an off-white polka-dot shower curtain. Johansson rests her left arm across the window frame, her hand resting on the right arm. Her right elbow sits on window frame as the rest of the right arm reaches up to support her head resting on her right hand. Her eyes are slightly narrowed looking off into the distance, her brows slightly pushed together. Her red lipstick contrasts the mainly light blue and green surroundings.
