Pregnacy Test scene from Knocked Up

To watch this clip close down the advert and the press play drag the bar to 26:00 and watch from this point for a minute.

This clip from 26:00 - 27:00 shows a panicked pregnancy test scene between two sisters. The scene relates to our film as towards the end we plan to show a scene where the female role is shocked by finding out she's pregnant.

The clip shows lots of fast movement to make the jump cuts seem even quicker, it also shows the high energy from the actresses in the clip which tells us that within the storyline the characters already know what going on.

The camera movement is like we are following the character and experiencing what she's going through while its happening, we get that sense of urgency and stress while we're watching.

The music in the background fits in with the scene really well because the drum beat in the background gives us the impression that it could be like a fast heartbeat because the characters are rushing around it also makes the scene quite contrasting as the song is quite uplifting but the characters are stressed out. The dialogue also brings out the tension in the main character as she mumbles to herself ("oh no" "no no no") which tells us she knows whats going to happen but she really really doesn't want it too.

This sense of urgency and shock is what we would like to bring across in our scene as it will close the opening and leave the audience wanting to know what happens next.
