Hairspray opening

The opening to the film 'Hairspray influenced the idea for our children's film. Although the content for it and our opening are completely different, techniques such as close ups of different parts of the character are very similar.

 We see quick shots and hints of what the main character is like from her getting out of bed to her doing her hair. The character is also doing these actions in time to music which influenced our sound choice to hopefully fit with it too. 

We also don't see the full main character till about 10 seconds in after these hints, we shall hopefully follow this too so we can just connote what the main characters are like without just straight out showing them. 

We want to show a clear contrast in both of our characters and jumping cuts which are used in the opening

of 'Hairspray' will show this and has influenced our decision to do this. 

The first 25 seconds of this is exactly the type of hinting of the characters we want to achieve.
