GEORGIAS HOUSE- EVENING- PARTY
• GEORGIA in her own home, in a friendly environment that she feels comfortable

her family and friends celebrating her 18th Birthday- blowing out her candles and
dancing all night: To show her happiness and how content she is.

else behind her blurred so she is the main focus (pull focus).

from her ex at her 18th birthday and looking worried about what is to come (an
extreme close up shot of her phone of what the text says: ‘Meet me. 2pm. I know
where you are, so don’t be late.’) This continues for a few seconds showing her
not being able to concentrate on her party and her trying to put on a brave face-close
ups to show her looking worried and her emotions changing within
minutes because of this text.
