Costume Check...
Costume check...
In our film we will be wearing modern outfits, Catlin will be wearing jeans and a t-shirt whereas Courtney (applying to the fiction between characters) will be wearing a dress, Carl will also be wearing jeans and a t-shirt to sub-consciously link the characters together. However in the bedroom scene Carl will be wearing shorts, these are quite comical and say ‘Feeling hot’. Added to this Courtney will be wearing a mans shirt and shorts to show the characters relationship.

Love Actually - 2 Minute Introduction Analysis
This film starts in a busy airport just after the 9/11 bombings in America. It is showing all the people that survived or witnessed this terrible ordeal arriving back home well and safe, and how all their family members and friends reacted. It shows how all the people are pushing each other out of the way in their eagerness to find their missing family members and their arriving back off of their planes.
It is cutting between a number of different scenes of people finally finding their relatives, with the mid shot throughout. At the very beginning though, it is at shoulder view:
A man pushing his way through the crowd and finally finding a red-headed woman who hugs him and they then kiss, which then cuts to a woman and two children running up to her and a long shot which then zooms back in to a mid shot which then cuts to 2 women hugging. This then goes on to cut to a woman picking up little girl and hugging her tightly.
As the above starts happening, there's a voice-over of male voice talking about how love is around and about how when the planes hit the twin towers all the messages sent to the lost or dying people were all messages of love, not of hatred and dislike.
Whilst this is happening, their are still scenes flicking across the screen of people being reunited:
Cuts to a woman running up to her sister and hugging her, which then cuts to a girl hugging her dad, a husband and wife hugging, a baby boy and dad hugging and then the little boy kissing his dad on the cheek, a mother and young daughter hugging and laughing, 2 old men walking up to each other and hugging, a man and woman kissing, a woman crying and hugging her husband, two women hugging.
Then whilst a man and woman are hugging, the words "Love actually is all around", comes up at the bottom of the screen in red and white writing. Whilst this is on the on there is still different scenes cutting acrosss the screen: a man swinging a little boy in the air, a man, woman and teenage girl hugging each other.
Then the words "is all around" disappear and the words "Love Actually" are just left at the bottom of the screen.
This background screen of people hugging then fades out to just leave the words "Love Actually" on a black screen.
Throughout the duration of the 2-minute introduction, the camera keeps a mid-shot of everyone.

Basis of my coursework
My Coursework
In a group of three, we are going to produce the opening two minutes of a romantic comedy. This will be aimed at young adult’s (15-20), this due to the fact that they will be able to relate to the plot more than other age groups and will understand the jokes involved whereas a higher age group may not. We have decided to stick to the overall traditional romantic comedy and our plot is based around a teenage girl Caitlin who finds her best-friend, Courtney, and boy-friend, Carl, together in bed. She leaves them and on an endless search to find love she eventually finds it in her best friend, Matt. Caitlin is a florist and at the same time as love is on the horizon she is asked to produce flowers for a wedding; she does this, only to find out that it is Courtney and Carl's wedding she is doing the flowers for. Caitlin has an accident at the wedding where she falls into Carl, at which he tells her that he never stopped loving her and so what happens when Caitlin is faced with the question of whether to go back to Matt or retrieve her old love form Carl…what does she do?...
We have set it in a modern time period so the actors will need to wear fashionable and suitable clothing. We will also have to make sure many technical features are in our film to also represent this. The overall Mise-en-scene of our piece will be the house's in which our characters live in, the work place (the florist) and the night life of the town (clubs/bars).

FADE IN EXT. HARDWICK PARK-#1-DAY
The film opens with an establishing shot of Hardwick Hall; this is an old romantic building. The shot then cuts to a woman (Caitlin), with blonde hair, she is having a walk through the park.
VOICE OVER
CAITLIN #1Someone once told me that love is the most unlogical feeling in the world. I didn’t understand this when I was younger but now ive realised that this fact is completely right and that love makes no sense at all. It’s sometimes loud, sometimes quiet; sometimes people don’t mean to love at all. Sometimes it’s confused for lust and others it is turned into admiration. Well whatever it is I believe it is one of the most powerful feelings in the world, it can determine our entire happiness. However its total power to capture our entire thoughts still bewilders the entire human race. I wonder what would happen if there was no love, there would be no friendship, no girlfriends, no husbands or wives and my cheating ex would not be…
There is then a close up of her getting closer to the camera but she begins to look shocked. A long-shot is used as she sees her ex-best friend (Courtney) being proposed to by her ex-boyfriend (Carl)…
Caitlin runs off.
(STRAIGHT CUT)(FLASH BACK)
INT. BEDROOM INSIDE A FLAT #2 – DAY
This is a comfy and modern bedroom. The scene opens with knickers and bras on the floor, this then move to a view of a bed and you see people under the covers giggling. There’s a bang of a door and everything goes quiet before you see Caitlin coming home. Carl and Courtney who have been in the bed together both jump up and quickly find a place for him to hide, the wardrobe being the obvious place. Caitlin finally enters the room but his boxers are still on the floor.
CAITLIN #1Looks like you had fun last night
COURTNEY #2(PAUSE)Yes
Caitlin picks the boxers off the floor
CAITLIN #1He forgot something though, these look familiar.
Carl then falls out the wardrobe where he has been hiding
CAITLIN #1(SHOCKED)You...
