I like these shots because they are where i learned that actions that look unnatural in real life seem natural on film. i asked James to make his doodles more exaggerated in the shot which, whilst looking eccentric off camera, looked standard on camera. The same happened with the speed of James' steps when entering the office, on camera, his normal speed looked rushed and hasty. I asked him to slow his pace, which looked odd in real life but looked and matched the pace of the film much better.
This opening clip from Juno is similar to ours with the lone protagonist walking somewhere with non-diagetic sound, both clips make the audience curious about the character's destination and the circumstances surrounding them. the music is very different in our clip making it darker whereas the Juno clip has a much lighter atmosphere which is also helped by the animation. the atmospheres of the two clips match the two very different endings, one ending in pregnancy, the other, death.
