Montage of a person’s experience traveling on the London Underground (metro system) and highlighting the relatable situation of forgetting to download entertainment for the journey, Spotify’s newest feature will then save the day. This compilation will include establishing shots navigating through the station to the train. Once on the train, a brief moment of panic when realizing you forgot to download any music on Spotify as the train is moving and you lose signal. Fortunately, once the app is opened, Offline Backup appears with music that is ready to play.
Spotify’s New Offline Backup Feature - Spotify is releasing a brand new feature called “Offline Backup” that automatically download a select number of songs to be played offline when you’ve forgotten to download music prior to being in a situation with no phone service or going on airplane mode.
Elevator Pitch - Imagine you’re enjoying a great Spotify session, and suddenly the music stops. "Dammit!" you think. You forgot to download anything for the flight; you're stuck in a Wi-Fi dead zone, or maybe you’re driving in the countryside and have lost connection.
Now imagine a new playlist magically appears—surfacing all the songs you didn’t even know were stored right there on your device. Suddenly, there’s music back on, and you’re smiling ear to ear because Spotify took care of the moment for you. This is all done automatically in the background without any prior preparation. The tracks you’ll find in the list are tracks that are available in Spotifys device cache, so no additional bandwidth or storage space is required :)
SHORT DESCRIPTION
For this concept, our creator will take various selfie and POV shots of themselves commuting on the London Tube. Shot of phone with no service and Offline Backup playing on their phone as they listen to music bobbing their head to the beat/smiling.
KEY SHOT LIST & CONSIDERATIONS
VOICE OVER SCRIPT (tweak slightly to suit your tone of voice)
“Today on the way to work I found the coolest thing EVER on my Spotify. I hopped on the underground to head to work. And usually I lose service like everyday, but TODAY I got this cool playlist that came up right when I reach my usual dead zone. The absolute best feeling to get me in the right headset for work. I am so stoked.”

For the Voice Over…. Note that this is done off camera with your “voice notes app”. We’ll be adding the voice over over the top of the footage. Please ensure that you record the voice over in a quiet room with little echo. A small closet with clothing around to absorb echo is always a good option!
