Added Scenes:

• Derris Father was added with a story line that he became a thug after he lost his baseball scholarship to Dave
• Hoop nights was added to emphasize the tension between Darius dad and Dave
• Clarice confronted Julie at her house rather than at the hair salon
• A scene of how music was stress reliever for Dave

The Way in which music was used:

• Classical music was used throughout the movie. A slow tempo type if classical music demonstrated sadness while a fast tempo type of classical music demonstrated happiness.
  Slow jams were used during Dave’s stress reliever scene. A fast tempo type of hip hop was used during Dave’s voice over or whenever Derris father entered the scene.
  Camera Angles:
• Most of the movie was shot in a medium shoot or long shot. The reason for this placing is because the director wanted his viewers to feel as if they were looking into these peoples life, as if they were stalkers. He only put a couple of different shoots and that was only to emphasize the reaction of the actors and actresses.
• A reaction shot was seen when Dave told Clarice she was sounding like her mother right before the accident.
• A point of view shoot was taken when the car slammed into Dave and Clarice.
• Another reaction shoot was seen when Clarice approached Dave and explained how sorry she was for belittling him and how much she missed him.
• An over the shoulder shot was seen when Dave kissed her.
• Montage occurred right after this scene. This symbolized the amount of time that passed after they got back together.
• The last scene of the movie was a reaction shoot between Dave and Clarice when she told him that she was pregnant. It then blended into a bird’s eye view shoot that showed the two hugged together. It then turned into a crane shoot showing the city and ending with a shoot of the sky.
