Detailed Explanation of Film Opening

• The two girls are getting ready for school in the morning in their respective bedrooms. We do not yet see their faces in full; this opening scene includes only close-ups of props such as Jessica's make-up or Emma's glasses, with perhaps one or two close-ups of their mouths or hair to demonstrate the differences between the girls' character and costumes.
• The accompanying non-diegetic soundtrack will be music following a steady beat with a high-pitched tune, typical of a contemporary pop song in order to engage and relate to our target audience.
• Cut to them picking up their bags in the hallway. Still we do not see their faces; probably a medium close-up/close-up of their feet and their bags as they collect them which will demonstrate the differences in costume- Jess will be wearing high-heels/fashionable girly shoes and will scoop up a fashionable- perhaps designer- bag and Emma will wear scruffy looking trainers and will pick up a back pack.
• So far, the audience can see that these girls are total opposites. We then see a medium long-shot/long shot of two houses, with the front doors next to one another, out of which the girls emerge and greet eachother with some kind of personal handshake or salutation.
• The camera will then track the girls talking from a medium shot/medium long shot, walking up the road to college. We can see they get along brilliantly through ease of body language and conversation.
• Cut to a group of girls gossiping outside college. After some dialogue, JJ approaches the girls (we see this from a cut to him framed in an over-the-shoulder shot. Maybe at a slight low angle to connote how much he is admired by the girls).
• JJ asks where the reception is, sending the girls giggling.
• The camera will then pan to Jessica and Emma walking towards the school. Spotting Jess, the girls wave, wondering who she is with. In a sudden movement Jess pushes Emma behind a wall and runs towards the girls.
• Jessica exchanges some dialogue with the girls about JJ, with one more very long shot of him walking into the college as Jessica comments on his 'nice arse'.
