The alarm clock goes off at 7:00am and we see Guy get out of bed and walk to his bathroom. However, when preparing for a shower he turns the water on too cold and we can hear him scream. We then see him skip excitedly out of the bathroom to choose his date outfit which turns out to be hideously ugly. He also styles his hair in a really unattractive manner although he seems to think he looks amazing which we can tell from the compliments that he's paying himself through the dialogue. He walks out of the bathroom and does a little dance which further emphasises his cheeriness and how excited he is for this date.
He then manages to spill coffee down himself and onto his shirt. However, he doesn't have time to change as he's almost late so he has no choice but to run out the house looking like an absolute mess. We then see him running up hills and around bends until he finally reaches his date, Bella, who's waiting for him outside the restaurant. Bella takes one look at Guy and the audience also sees what he looks like from her viewpoint, a total and utter mess. She then makes an excuse to leave and she leaves Guy who looks distraught which will be emphasised with the close up of his face.
The majority of the opening sequence will be shot in Guy's house, mainly his bedroom as we watch him get ready for his date with some scenes towards the end of the opening sequence being set outside.
We are aiming to maintain the continuity of our sequence by using things like eye-line matches, cross cutting, shot reverse shots when Bella and Guy first meet and have a conversation and also point of view shots where we see Guy through Bella's eyes.
Our titles will be overlayed over the action similar to other films such as 'She's the Man'. However, our titles will not be as prominent as they will just be in simple white text so as not to draw any attention away from the action of the shot. Our film title, 'The Life of Guy' won't be overlayed but will be on a separate shot at the end of the opening sequence and the ditributor and production company will have a separate shot at the beginning as well.
The music will be quite upbeat and positive which juxtaposes the action and sticks to our theme of light hearted rom-com. This is similar to other films such as 'Superbad' which starts off with very happy upbeat music.
