these are drawings of the four main shots that we are going to use within our opening sequence. Our first idea was a close up of a note which gives the audience a clue as to why this person is in the location but also leaves them to wonder who wrote the note and who has received it. The questions are created by hiding information to the audience such as the characters face. Titles will appear on the note at first and slowly the message on the note will fade in.
The second shot is an extreme close up of a phone which will also display titles to the audience. the titles will then disappear and will reveal somebody phoning. The audience may wonder who is calling and what relationship the person calling has with this character whilst also wondering who this character is because their face is still hidden.
Thirdly there will be a long shot of a girl lying on a floor in an old abandoned room surrounded by blood and rubble. The long shot allows the audience to see the setting and how alone the girl is showing her vulnerability. Blood shows something physical has taken place previously but the audience don't find out what until after the opening sequence. Rubble and dirt also represents the idea of desertion in this house.
Our fourth shot is an extreme close up of an expressionless face against the floor also surrounded by blood. The blood pouring from the head is effective because is gives the audience a clue that this person has been perhaps attacked or hurt in some way. The eyes will remain still to show this character has died and the camera will pan out to show the blood pouring slowly out. The blood will also turn into titles next to the face using the rule of thirds. The girls hair is scruffy and her face is pale to imply pain as well as death.
Here the fourth wall
is broken as Bridget addresses the audience directly, making us understand that
she is the main character. It also makes us feel close to her for a brief
moment when the shot is in freeze frame of a close up on her face. This builds
a relationship between the audience and the character making us want to know
more about her life. The dialogue ‘That was it’ makes us question what ‘It’ is.
During this scene we see her surrounded by older people and people in general
which could imply that she is at a party or special occasion. 
This Party hat is
placed outside in the cold and is slightly covered in snow. The fact that it is
outside alone could resemble Bridget’s loneliness throughout the rest of the
film. The covering of snow could also show Bridget’s emotions of being lumbered
and weighed down by personal things. The
idea that it is a party hat could also symbolise a good night out turning into
just a memory and the hat is a souvenir for this memory. The weather in this
scene gives a clue to the audience what time of year it is.
into a font which
looks like casual hand writing. This font could represent the casual idea of
the film and how Bridget is just an ordinary person and is very informal. The
yellow colour could represent happiness which contrasts with her emotions.
However, it may also highlight the humour in the film. 
A medium shot of a
television shows that she is just watching anything she can in her boredom of
staying in and doing nothing. The rule of thirds is used here making the shot a
lot more interesting to look at and also allows us to see the clues within the
setting such as the amount of books stacked on the shelves to the right. The
old style television may highlight her lack of money and wealth/that she doesn’t
update her technology much or just the era this film was set in. 
Cross dissolves
occur between each shot to perhaps give the audience a sense of time passing
by. It shows how Bridget moves around the room and also how she hardly leaves
the sofa over the whole duration of the time passed. 
This is a shot that
has been cross faded into and we see Bridget moving off the sofa to check her
voicemails. Here there is a non-diegetic voice saying ‘You have no messages’.
This creates a realistic feel for the audience as well as a sense of pity for
the character on screen. This emphasises her loneliness and lack of social life
that she has at this moment in her life. The phone being in the fore ground reinforces
that she hardly uses it. 
We then see her sat back down on the sofa and
chugging back her drink at a fast speed. This shows how she is feeling and that
she perhaps wants to drown her sorrows with alcohol.
It is revealed that
the music ‘all by myself’ is actually non-diegetic when we see the character
miming along with the lyrics. This shows that the song really does relate to
Bridget and her emotions. We feel the full power of her emotions when the song
kicks in and she to emphasise her movements with it. A long shot is used here
to get the full image of her outburst. The rule of thirds is used here to leave
space for the titles to appear as the scene plays on.
