To Introduce our characters to the audience we wanted to use a variety of shots to tell them some information about the characters. For example we see that Chris is reading a book about Schrodinger's cat. The close up on him books he is reading shows us that he is intelligent and interesting.
The majority of shots show Tallulah show how she is a girl character, focusing on her appearance for her date and wearing pink and floral clothing (e.g. the tilt shot on the far left shows her choosing what to wear, looking at a cream floral outfit). We use the same tilt shot showing Chris, he is dressed smart for their date.
The shot on the far left is of a hip flask, further demonstrating elements of the male character. (The audience do not know that there are twin males yet. The shots will lead them to believe it is only one character).
The middle image of Tallulah shows her looking at a different outfit. This will show time passing as she continues choosing between outfits. This shot will pan from behind the wardrobe door to reveal Tallulah standing there. Close-up of the jewellery further emphasises the elements we want to demonstrate of her character. Also by using the same style of shot when showing both Tallulah and the male characters the audience can make comparisons between them.
The shot on the far left will be edited to have two of the same man, in the same outfit standing opposite one another. This is the first time the audience will see that there are two male characters and that they are twins.
Showing Tallulah sitting on her own at the table on her own tells the audience that the male (whichever she's dating) has not arrived yet. Having the glass in the foreground will also give this shot a sense of location and the audience will know that we have arrived at the restaurant. The opening will end on a 2-shot, leaving the audience to question which twin brother she is with after they have been introduced to the characteristics of them earlier.
