The POV version starts with a familiar little gesture: someone across the table reaches for the check, and you put a hand out to say you have it covered. The audience should understand whose point of view they are following before the wallet opens. If you add a POV caption, make it about that moment. A line like “POV: you insist dinner is on you” tells viewers what the lead just volunteered for and leaves them to discover why that might have been a mistake.
Use one photo of the adult you want to cast as that lead. The scene gives them a dining companion and follows the four beats of the dinner joke. Watch the result once without text before you decide where a caption goes. The wallet needs enough room in the frame for people to see the sponge. For a vertical post, preview it with the app controls showing. If a caption gets in the way of the close-up, end the caption just as the camera moves in.
