After talking with Matt and taking his idea on board, Ashen came up with an idea. The whole sequence would be shown in reverse. In a linear sequence, the boy would take the medication out a cabinet and eat it. He washes his face in the sink and turns the tap off. He would then start shouting at the mirror and getting very angry. He smashes the mirror with his fists and then fade to black. Showing it backwards would be really cool because the glass would go back into the mirror and the water back in the sink. Ashen originally planned to reverse the sequence very slowly so that it fits the two minute criteria, but we all decide that it would be very boring and the audience would switch off.
We then thought back to the waiting room idea that Matt gave us and we had struck lightning. We would start off with the same reverse sequnece but it would be fairly quickly rewound. We would then cut straight back to the beginning of the film where the boy is in the waiting room and his name gets called by the announcer to see his GP, fade to black. The title would appear in the transition between the bathroom scene and the waiting room scene and the credits would roll while he is in the waiting room. We didn't want anyt titles to appear at the start because it is very engaging and we wouldn't want to distract the audience. We knew that the waiting room scene wasn't an ideal time to put the title becaus it's the start of the film so we thought it would look cool to show the title earlier and fade to black as the boy walks in the GP room.
