WHY A WAKE UP SCENE

WHY A WAKE-UP SCENE?

I decided that in order to convey all that I want with my character, a scene introducing the character would be vital. My opening will show my character's attitude and physical routine as they wake up and prepare for the day that is to come. I feel like wake-up scenes are a great way to show an audience who the movie is about and create a first impression with the viewer. I feel like showing someone in their natural state and setting can reveal a lot about their characters.

Here are some wake-up scenes that definitely do the trick/have the effect I would like to create with my own opening.

-The type of person she immediately becomes apparent
-The comedic tone is also established with the retainer and voice track
-The knick-knacks and items around her room show she is a straight-A student that prides herself in school work
-You can also see that she is the valedictorian of her class
-It is obvious that she is politically aware and is a feminist by the decorations in her room
-The wake-up scene can bring to light many things and naturally highlight what is essential the main character knows.


- This wake-up scene does less for the characters and more fo the setting and context of the film
-Shows some of the crazy things that happened the night before and provides comedic relief
-Serves to develop the plot and represent that the night before was full of madness and they don't remember the majority.


-All sign point at the fact that he is undisciplined and disorganized
-An important feature of the character: his hook prosthesis is shown and displayed
-He seems careless and reckless just by the actions he performed while breaking the alarm clock.
-This scene establishes the character's "vibe" as incoherent and aggressive.
-The immediate reach for the Jack Daniels indicates he is an alcoholic, since it is a drink most commonly drunk at night.
