The next frame we see is again “Lucas”, he is staring at another character which we cannot see. In response to this the next image is set on an outdoor basketball court, of that character looking back at “Lucas”. This leads the audience to assume that there is some conflict between the two characters; possibly relating to the young woman? After this the next new image is of a basketball game where the character conflicting with “Lucas” is shown. The young woman has been shown in the game supporting his team strengthening the fact that the part of the conflict could be because of her.
In the next two images we learn that the relationship between the conflicting character and the young woman as we see them kissing. After this a new character is introduced by showing her closing up a shop, this leads us to believe that she works there as she looks to young to be the owner. The image after this if of a man who looks wealthy as he drives a nice looking car and wears a suit. We see him take of his glasses and look disapprovingly at someone, this gives us the impression that he has high standards in life.
The next character to be introduced is a woman who appears to be very seductive as she flutters her eyelashes at someone out of the image. This will appeal to a lot of men as she is quite good looking. The next image flicks to “Lucas” sitting on a bench looking up at a basketball net, the camera is angled above the net to show that he is thinking about it. This image links in with the next as it shows a close up of a man in a sports hall. We assume that this is the coach and helps “Lucas ” become part of the team. A medium shot of is used to introduce another character. He could be related to “Lucas” as one frame shows him speaking to his mum and making her laugh.
The last character to be introduced is a middle aged woman, who we assume is “ Lucas’ ” mother as she hugs him waiting by a doorstep; she could have been worrying or waiting for him to come home. The next image changes back to the bridge a “Lucas” dribbling a basketball again showing how out of place he feels.
As each character is introduced gold writing appears next to their face, identifying them so the audience know who they are. Furthermore, all of the characters are introduced in the order of importance we know this by the number of times they are shown in the o/s. As well as this, after each character is introduced to the audience another shot is shown of them; this helps the audience to work out the relationships between the characters.
