R+P Post 8: Our opening sequence idea

Our opening sequence will start off in Guy's London bedroom with his alarm going off at 7 am. We see his room full of games and posters as he gets out and turns the clock off. Going to take a shower Guy finds that the water is too cold and screams. He then tries to pick out clothes for the date and chooses between many outfits all bad but very similar in style. He ends up picking an ugly shirt and chino shorts which clash. Then he proceeds to the bathroom where he styles his hair into a middle parting. He thinks he's done well which we can see as he compliments himself.

Later he hops down his stairs getting excited and skips to the kitchen where he makes his tea. He then spills his tea down his shirt and doesn't have time to change as he realises he's almost late. Instead he puts on his shoes and grabs his parka which also clash with his outfit and hurries out the house. He runs all the way to his date who is standing outside a restaurant. Upon seeing him, she is surprised that
Guy is her date, repelled by him and rejects him with an excuse that she has to go somewhere. The opening ends with Guy being confused and slightly upset.

At the start of the opening sequence, titles such as our distribution and production titles will be shown as white font on a black background. Titles such as the name of our actors/actresses will overlay onto our main shots throughout the sequence. At the end of the sequence there will be 'The Life of Guy' title.
Our titles are inspired by the openings in She's The Man and John Tucker Must Die.

We plan to employ various continuity techniques such as eyeline matches, cross-cutting, graphic matches and shot-reverse-shots such as when Guy talks to his date in front of the restaurant.

There will be a voice over by Guy which will anchor the narrative and his actions and upbeat pop music to emphasise his happy excited mood and happy-go-lucky personality.
