Separate the light from the dark
0:16 - 0:18 • Contrast of pairs, light and dark • Transition from day to night; time-lapse - sunset, cityscape (lights) • Lightbulb turned on/off
It’s begun but you just can’t start
0:19 - 0:21 • Traffic light - green to red - pull focus between them • Cross/don’t cross walking symbol - “ “
And all you think about is what to do, the next time
0:22 - 0:27 • CU of face leaning on hand concentrated expression - head moves upwards matched with tilt upwards
Separate the truth from the lies
0:28 - 0:30 • Newspaper on table high angle - Sun with headline ‘The Truth’ (memorable/famous headline) - then sped up clip of being burnt from bottom right corner (social issues connoted)
Take a jump and you might just find 0:31 - 0:38 • Tracking shot of person jumping side on: That all you’ve got to do is take a chance, the next time either: action match to landing on other side or: 4 pans, person A confused > pan > person B jumps > pan back > person A jumps (start) > pan back > person A lands somewhere else w/chair • Monopoly chance card sitting on chair (popular culture) shot-reverse- shot between object and character As you fall back off your chair
0:39 - 0:41 1:22 - 0:24 1:34 - 1:36 2:29 - 2:31 2:40 - 2:42 2:51 - 2:53
• Cut to protagonist sitting on chair holding chance card • Action match seamless editing falling off chair start in one scenery end in another - location, time of day • Camera tracks fall - front on falling backwards, action match, side on falling, front on landing.
Feel like you could be anywhere Is your mouth dry, your eyes wide
0:42 - 0:46 - action match from chair to different location linked 1:23 - 1:27 • Scared expression - ECU mouth & eyes 1:35 - 1:39 • Split screen - different eyes/mouths 2:30 - 2:34 2:41 - 2:45 2:52 - 2:56
You go up and up and up and up
0:47 - 0:52 1:28 - 1:33 1:40 - 1:45 2:35 - 2:40 2:46 - 2:51 2:57 - 3:02
Separate the men from the boys Grow up, get rid of your toys
1:01 - 1:06 • CU of two figures - green plastic army men, two groups (painted different colours = contrast) - two hands playing with them • Foot/boot comes from above stamps on figures
And all you think about is how you lost, the last time
1:07-1:11
• 4 jump cuts - location left in from previous lines, protagonist moves in zig zag fashion away from camera, the same pattern as the 4 pans (left to right or vice versa) • 2:57 - 3:02 - person moves towards camera rather than away
• 3rd place trophy/wooden spoon given - continuity editing spoon thrusted to camera, reverse shot, spoon taken, only shows torso. • Enter flashback -or- also present with copy of The Last Time

Separate the in’s and the out’s
1:12 - 1:14 • Relevance to flashback - POV door opened then closed - continuity editing, contrast each side of door
What goes up must always come down
1:15 - 1:17 • Illusion - ball thrown, cuts to clip reversed and flipped, ball enters from below. Dream world(?)
And all you think about is how to win, the next time
1:18 - 1:22 • 1st place trophy same continuity editing as 1:07-1:11 - jump cut to no trophy as disappeared next time means event hasn’t happened yet.
And you can’t stop smiling No you won’t stop smiling
1:55 - 2:00 • Split screen of multiple mouths smiling - lip-syncing 2:07 - 2:13 to song 2:20 - 2:25 • Distractions/things thrown at person/multiple people (3, as 3 repeats) in an attempt to distract
As you bat your eyelids As you bat your eyelids
2:01 - 2:06 • Deterioration - literally bat with eyelid, 6 repeats 2:14 - 2:19 total, each repeat person could appear more bruised 2:26 - 2:31 (SFX makeup)
