I have decided to analyse this clip when the main character Anna drops her bag on the floor in the school corridor. This is because we have decided to change our letterbox scene due to the poor weather conditions, and have decided to have our main characters meet in a similar way. In this film sequence Anna drops her bag with her books and pens rolling out. Then Jake comes to her rescue, and picks up her guitar pick, which leads them into their first conversation. We thought this was a good way for our characters to meet as it shows their romance was destined to happen, however not for long.
As Anna steps out of the door, with large letters saying ‘detention’ into the corridor, suddenly her bag gives way and all her books and pens down to the floor and roll around. There is a medium shot of her annoyed/ fed up facial expression, as she sighs then bends down to start collecting up her belongings. The camera tracks in towards her putting her stuff back into her bag, when there is a close up of her picking up her last book. We see a man’s foot in this shot, which is soon revealed to be the boy who Anna likes, called Jake. There is a shot reverse shot of Anna, as he picks up a guitar pick and she doesn’t realise until he holds it right in front of her face, then says “excuse me is this yours?” As she stands up, he immediately starts a conversation about music and bands. The two characters then walk side by side down the corridor, getting to know each other better. This is a romantic but subtle way for the two characters to meet and initiate a romance between them, which is what we wanted our characters in our film to reflect.
