The opening 2 minutes-

Hugo wakes up to the sound of his Alarm. This is then followed by his mum knocking on his bedroom door to see if he is awake. Hugo then clearly to the audience pretends he is ill to stay home from school knowing his mum is late for work and she is not in the mood for a morning dispute. So she just goes along with it and goes to work.

As soon as she leaves Hugo run down the stairs to the phone and calls his friend Ken. To Hugo's surprise the split screen reveals that ken is already at the place where the two have planned to meet. So this automatically rushes Hugo into a frenzy to leave while Still on speaker to Ken. While in the panic Ken announces that Stanley is there too, Hugo doesn't understand why and neither does ken but its revealed by Stanley who's voice can be heard in the background The Scene ends as Hugo leaves his house and slams the door. And with the sound of the door being slammed shut comes a quick heavy drum roll and reveals the films name HUGO.


Locations:

HUGO's House

Riverside -Norwich (place where ken is)

The reasoning for choosing these locations is that the house is my own house, So it is easily accessible and I do not need to ask for permission before using it. One of the main reasons I wanted to use this house is because it has a straight staircase that is perfect for a shot of Hugo coming down the stairs when running to the phone. The house is also a common sized house so it suggests Hugo is not a rich or poor character straight away. This helps me try to get the audience to relate to Hugo and create a bond with him.

The reason I chose riverside is because its accessible, it looks very much like typical Norwich and where kids would be if they weren't at school. It also has a river which gives it a calmer peaceful look because after all the kids should be at school, so there should be less people out and about to make the streets look busy.
