Similar what I intend to do with my film, the beginning starts with a variety of shots with Christmas themes to them for example and ice rink, a snowy hill etc. This is a perfect example of what I want to include in my film to create a Christmas buzz and the audience immediately recognise the theme of my film like 'Deck the Halls'.
These example represent great winter activities that everyone as an audience can relate to therefore putting them at the beginning with no intentional hints about the narratives gives the audience a feel for the film.
We then get introduced to the protagonist with a classic voice over labelled as 'Mr Christmas' suggest a loving, caring, family man, this follows with a montage of short jump cut clips of him to give the audience a slight idea on his personality. Again showing Christmas theme for example choosing a Christmas tree. Using quick cuts suggests his passion and enthusiasm about Christmas and how he works very hard to make it 'perfect' as 'Mr Christmas'. Happy, mellow music is played throughout behind the voice over.
We then get a change in the music to a more rocky sound when its all about to change for 'Mr Christmas'. A new neighbour has arrived so using the POV shot allows the audience to understand that the protagonist is weary of this change and reveals the narrative story line slightly, revealing there will be conflict between him and the new neighbour.
This is the neighbour whom we also have a montage of clips as he moves in revealing parts of his character for example he has a wife and two daughters. He is also presented as being very competetive
