The Montage

The montage in the middle of the party scene has remained up to now hazy in my mind and I really wanted to get it straightened out before I worked out the shot list. Eventually it occurred to me this was an opportunity to do something more like the opening credits than your classic film montages of this type.

I thought I’d mix shots of girls rejecting Joe with Joe’s feelings of dejection culminating over the evening so that it has more of a narrative to it. The idea came from the cover of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ which was lying on my desk at the time:

This in turn reminded me of the clever credits sequence at the end of the film (A Hard Day’s Night) which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgFOQuWICnM&feature=related (watch from 0:56) so that has now become my basis for the montage.
