Highlight a subject using a shadow mask?

There is an array of objects on a table.  I want to cast a shadow over everything except for a specific object being addressed in narration.

I don't want to black-out everything or make it disappear.  I want the rest of the scene visible, but effectively under a shadow so that the subject appears highlighted.

How can this be done?  I can't figure it out.  I have seen it in videos; maybe it requires something more capable than VideoPad?

Thank you Borate!  It is very close to what I need.

The objects are different sizes and shapes of boxes.  So I need the Spotlight effect, but in various polygon shapes.

Do you know a filter that will do that?
