What is the Cinematic B-Roll ad format?

Think slow-motion coffee pouring into a ceramic mug at golden hour, or a hand running through perfectly rumpled linen sheets — this is the format where beautiful visuals carry the entire message. Nothing is explained out loud; the product lives inside a mood you want to step into. It works best early in the funnel when you're building desire for a lifestyle or feeling, not pitching features.
