First Day of Filming In The UK



The first shot we took was off a radio alarm clock on a bedside table. The shot is taken at the same level as the alarm clock as a close-up so the audience can clearly see the object and so it alone has their attention. The alarm begins to go and the text "beep, beep" appears on screen in time to the alarm (Note; the text and non-diegetic music was later added in editing). We decided to add this text so the audience could draw similarities between our opening and that of Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, one of the films we intially researched. There is a scene in Scott Pilgrim where Scott hears a knock at the door which is signalled by the text "knock knock" appearing on screen. Overlapping this text over the shot gives the scene a very comic book feel which can be used to attract our targeted audience.

An unknown hand then enters the shot to turn off the alarm, then, as the alarm cuts out the music cuts in and is made to appear like it is coming from the radio. As refered to earlier, the music will be added later during editing.
