Film Opening - Scene Two Planning


Scene 2 – Montage One, McDonalds

This will be shot on location, at a local McDonalds.

Providing we arrive to the ‘set’ early enough, the location will be pretty quiet and not at all busy – perfect for us to be able to film well.

 The lead male and his ex-girlfriend will be in this scene.

He will be wearing jeans, a shirt and perhaps trainers – this will connote his laid back feel towards this relationship, as this is further represented by his choice of restaurant.

She will be wearing a pretty day dress and flat shoes. Her hair will be curled and styled into a smart and attractive style and her make up simple but pretty - symbolising her femininity and showing the effort she made for the date.

Natural lighting will be used, we will plan to film this scene on a sunny day as it will help to create a happy mood that’s often shown in romantic comedies, and also the sunshine will connote jolliness – happy/humorous – fitting with the comedic effect?
Having a happy/natural lighting will also create the effect of a memory, something he is reminiscing on. Even if it isn't a 'good' memory.

 Script:

*as the couple are walking along towards McDonalds

Chloe: I’m so excited; it’s so lovely of you to take me out on our anniversary!

Dave: *laughs slightly* don’t worry about it! It’s our three year anniversary; of course we have to celebrate a little bit!

Chloe: *smiles at him and then looks up at the restaurant, her face drops and she looks angry* McDonalds?! Please tell me you’re joking! You’re taking me here, on our anniversary?!

Dave: *starts to look uncomfortable and uneasy. Stutters a little* I, I err…

Chloe: *huffs and storms off with the look of disgust on her face*
