Main Task - 5 - Title Timeline

As we decided to do a comedy based on social differences between two characters, creating a social comedy, the film we decided to look at as a timeline was the film 'Starter for 10' (a social comedy-drama)

'A period comedy set 1985, the story chronicles the adventures of Brian Jackson, a student in his first year at Bristol University. A somewhat gekky gifted accumulator of knowledge, Brian has been a fan since childhood of University Challenge. That TV show's famous catchphrase - 'Your starter for 10' - give the film it's title. Soon after arriving at university, he seizes upon the opportunity to join Bristol's University Challenge team. He promptly falls for his glamorous teammate Alice, though he may be more compatible with his Jewish counter-culturalist friend, Rebecca. Additionally, Brian finds himself caught between his new life, amongst the academic university set, and his old, with his working-class family and friends in the seaside town of Southend-on-Sea, Essex.'

From our group discussion, we noticed that when making the timeline, we each looked at different aspects, I focused on the set up of credits, while another person focused on the camera shots and action along with the credits. However, from our discussion, we all saw that this comedy film started slow and used jump cuts between locations, as Brian leaves home and goes to his new house. I noticed that in the entire opening, Brian always has his suitcase, in all the shots, his suitcase is visible  from this we discussed the possibility of having 1 consistent aspect in all shots, whether that be a part of the outfit, or in the background.
