The last few shots of the opening sequence on our storyboard show Elliott leaving the garage after receiving a text message, and then closing with a floor level shot of his feet leaving the room. Originally, we had planned to see Elliott drop a packet of crisps earlier on in the film, and see him tread on one as he left the room- however we made the decision to have him put the crisps down on the table, rather than drop them on the floor, as the position in which we needed them to fall looked very unnatural. Because of this, the shot we thought we had decided upon using saw Elliott's feet leaving the room without crushing a crisp.
Although this shot would have brought a different angle to our film, we made the post-production decision to use footage captured on the last day - a mid shot of Elliott going out of the door in a hurry, and having the Pringles (that were packed in his rucksack) fall to the ground. We decided to use this shot as we believe it really represents the character well, as he is clumsy and it brings a comedic feel to both him and the film. This shot was completely unplanned, as we aimed only to have a shot of Elliott leaving the room. However, it really fits well with the film and have decided to include it.
