Content Production Plan

Shoot Brief

Schedule before end of May 2026  ·  1–2 days  ·  Tabanan, Bali

Kebun Kakao — Tabanan Farm
Establishing the origin. The heartbeat of everything CAU makes.
  • Golden hour wide shot — establishing the farm
  • Cacao pods on tree — close up, multiple colors (red, yellow, green)
  • Farmer's hands harvesting — slow motion if video
  • Farmer portrait — candid editorial, warm light, no posing
  • Fermentation box — freshly harvested cacao in process
  • Aerial / drone wide — farm landscape (if available)
  • Detail shots — soil, roots, leaves, texture
  • Farmer name + face — documentary portrait for storytelling
Tone: Natural light only. Golden hour preferred (06.00–08.00 or 16.00–18.00). No artificial backgrounds. Warm, earthy, real.
Pabrik Baru — New Factory
The craft at scale. Pride in production. Operational end May 2026.
  • Exterior establishing shot — clean, proud
  • Couverture flowing from machine — hero moment
  • Tempering process close-up
  • Artisan hands at work — pouring, molding
  • 1kg couverture block — product hero (overhead + side angle)
  • Quality check moment — authentic
  • Wide interior — modern clean factory
  • Packaging line (if ready)
Tone: Warm industrial. Pride in craft. Not sterile or clinical — show the human element alongside the machine.
Product Hero Shots
The commerce layer. Clean, beautiful, export-ready imagery.
  • 1kg Dark, Milk, White couverture — on natural surface (wood, stone, banana leaf)
  • Chocolate melting / drizzle — liquid texture shot
  • Broken bar — texture, cross-section close-up
  • Retail bar range — styled flat lay
  • Wholesale vs retail packaging — side by side comparison
Hero Video — 60–90 seconds
The brand film. From Bali's living earth, to the world's tables.
  1. Open: Sunrise over Tabanan farm. Silence. Birds.
  2. Farmer walks into frame — begins the day
  3. Hands harvest cacao pods — slow motion
  4. Cut to: fermentation → drying → transport
  5. Pabrik: machine starts, couverture flows
  6. Artisan hands — careful, intentional
  7. Product: 1kg block emerges, packaged
  8. Final frame: "From Bali's Living Earth, To Your Table."
  9. Logo + website
