Terraced houses not indicative of anywhere specific in England, natural morning light streaming in with lens flare
Rosie wrapped in pink checkered duvet cover, hair messy and natural stage makeup, hair has a floral wallpaper and a globe which is possibly used to foreshadow later events in the film
Alex dressed in a blue top and blue buttoned up shirt, half face lit up
Pink lighting, dark and smoke, strobe and shot glasses as props
Background lit up silhouetting them as they kiss
Kids birthday party, scene, everything is bright purple, green and pink, Alex in dark blue and Rosie in white pink, hair pinned back and curled, spacehoppers used as props
Lighting streaming between them and lens flare
Rosie in red dress, hair pinned the same way as it was when they met, she is in the light and in the middle third of the shot
Greg topless in blue shorts, bat in hand as the beach, sky looks a dul blue but Greg is lit up
Different people all in one group, Greg standing out due to being topless, all wearingn different clothing colours and styles and messing around with beer cans
Dark room
Ruby's hair matches the flowers and stands out against the white of the hotel, Rosie wears light blue maids outfit and sips out of a cup
Alex and Rosie stand out from the beach setting by the bright clothes they are wearing, Rosie in pink and Alex in blue

Green lighting in the drug store

Flushed cheeks on both parts
Snow on houses

Sound
Boom sounds asynchronous to the cut between shots
Sound perspective increases when there is credits
Screams and club sounds at high sound perspectives
loud bang as Rosie falls to the ground
Sound stops as if in hesitation as the audience and Alex knows they kissed but Rosie doesn't
Dialogue from children- discounts any need for a voiceover
Sound again stops at "awkward/ tense" moment in their friendship when she asks him how she should have her boobs
Sipping sounds out of flask
Music changes upon graphics, singing voice but with similar backing track
Sound perspective increases and lyrics used when text is on screen
Dialogue is for the most part diegetic but some use of sound bridges
Dialogue is whispered to capture tense moment of the pivotal point in the plot
Boom sound as the pregnancy test is slammed down
Bethany speaks very posh
Music is a modern pop song which would be familiar to the target audience
Music stops as Alex says "You're looking way to hot right now Rosie"
Song reaches it's climax
