- Genre shown as light hearted with upbeat music over a setting of the woods which turns out to be a screen- fools audience but adds amusement. Implies that Bullock is rich. The woods is also a foreshadow of Reynold's home later in the film
- Titles are shown on screen
- Bullock is shown exercising whilst working- connotes importance and an organised character- zooms out to show character in full
- Tall buildings are shown outside her window- implies large apartment set in New York
- Shot then shows Reynold's in bed at a messier apartment-is less organised- also shows difference between the two character's. Audience can tell they're the two that'll be together
- Sounds of taxis and fire truck as Reynolds is running to work- connotes business and the characters stress. His running shows his eagerness to get to work on time- suggests an important job
- Shots of busy street as camera focuses on Bullock in a smart black suit- suggests high importance
- Cliché love interest from afar- coffee shop girl shows interest in Reynolds, implies he's likable or fools audience to believe she's the main character until shot jumps away from them
- Reynolds displays importance when he knocks into another worker. He blames him for his mistake as if showing his authority despite being below his female boss. This is also shown when he quickly demands a co-worker to switch shirts-wants to appear worthy to boss for promotion. Further suggests he is actually similar to Bullock
- Character's are different and show clear dis-likeness for each other- shown with sarcasm and the fact Renyolds sends out emails to warn co-workers eg. "The witch is on her broomstick"~(The emails have a cutesy pop sound to show lighthearted hate and not deep anger)
- Quick blurred pan shot when workers hurry to look as if busy- suggest panic as well as fear and hatred of boss
- Pauses of tension and awkward expressions between the character's- The characters know each other but not on a personal level
Whilst my film will not be a rom-com, I can use inspiration from The Proposal to show to things happening at once by using parallel editing. However I may change this to flashbacks when I start to plan my film opening.
