Scissorhand


Five...
...or six.


I watched our rough cut five or six times this afternoon taking notes on possible final drafts of our teaser. Please enjoy the following:

FINAL DRAFT IDEAS

1. Simple Corrections:
  • replace footage with freeze frame of [7:00 a.m.]
  • tighter edit on the 2nd [gargle] edit
  • credit both songs
  • efface the long pause before the [door]
  • re-order [cereal pouring]:
    • connect Cherrios and milk
    • fix the "popping" back-and-forth"
2. Reshuffle:
  • underlay [Tiger] behind song credits, final frame
  • show [exiting mirror]
  • BRIGHTEN all the lighting and colors
  • re-order [waking] sequence:
    • 6:59 > sleeping > 7:00 > hand on table
  • delete the [walking out]
    • jump cuts across the room
    • entire sequence
    • leave just the hand
3. New Score:
  • *alarm buzzer* cuts off score
  • fade in after [intertitle]
  • completely new score:
    • "S.P.A.T.", Badly Drawn Boy
    • "File Me Away", Badly Drawn Boy
    • "Feeling Good", Michael Buble
    • "Unusual Day", Jane Powell
    • "Like Love", Gene Kelly
4. Add a Lady:
  • female voice-over?
  • icon images as intertitles
  • freeze-frames:
    • on the cell phone
    • high-heels
