5 Key Frames

Key Frames:

1. Casey's necklace falling out from her pocket.

Shot type: Medium

Why we have used it: This is because it is one of the most iconic parts to the storyline where Casey looses her mothers locket and is devastated about it. This is to create a sense of dramatic irony between the audience and the film, where they know she has lost it but doesn't know yet. The audience would also then know that Toby's girlfriend that is jealous of Casey finds and wears the necklace as if it is her own.

2. Casey looking sad and upset about losing her locket.

Shot type: Close up

Why we have used it: We have used this to show the impact and how valuable the necklace is to Casey. This also means that the audience is able to close up see the impact and sympathise with her as well.

3. The 3  main boys walking down the corridor.

Shot type: Long Shot

Why we have used it:  We have decided to use this shot as part of out 5 key frames because of  the facial expression of Toby walking down the corridor looking happy and popular like he has no cares in the world and that everyone swoons over him. When realistically he is failing school and using Casey to get his grades.

4. Casey and Toby sitting in the library.

Shot type: Medium shot

Why we have used it: We have decided to use this as it shows the awkwardness and the conflict between the two and how they do not see eye-to-eye. The shot also shows how Casey is doing all of the school work and Toby is just sitting there not trying while Casey is frustrated.

5. Casey walking into her prom looking revamped and less geeky looking stereotypically what people would see as being beautiful. At the same time in this part of the film this is where Toby sees how beautiful she really is deep down thinking about how smart and unique she is.

Shot type: Medium Shot

Why we have used it: We have used this shot to show to the audience how beauty isn't everything to a girl and that not all boys are attracted to popularity and beauty. It also helps to show that being smart can be attractive to some and seen as a motivational factor to better themselves.
