In the opening scene the camera pans across floor of a messy
dirty room of the unsuccessful person. This then transitions into the same
camera angle panning across the floor of a much nicer clean tidy room belonging
to the person’s successful counterpart. Next back in the unsuccessful world
there is a close up of an alarm clock as it goes off followed by a hand
slamming down and turning it off. As it hits the alarm clock and hand changes
to that of the successful persons. The next shot is a split screen between both
of the worlds. The camera is positioned to film just above the bed so that as
they rise from their sleep they come into the shot. Camera is then positioned
just above floor level of unsuccessful room focused on slippers which feet then
go into. Feet are then followed as they walk out of room. Next shot is of
staircase in successful life as actor comes into shot and walks down the
stairs. Next is a long shot of successful life filling up a kettle. As turns to
counter camera moves with him and transitions into unsuccessful doing the same
and putting the kettle on. Next the kettle is shot in a close up using shallow
focus. This then changes to the same shot of the other kettle also using
shallow focus. While this is happening sound of the water boiling is heavily
focused on. This same focus on sound is then used in an overhead shot of water
being poured into mug. Next milk is poured into mug of the successful world and
stirred. Camera then changes to toast
popping up. Hand then takes toast and camera follows transitioning into other
world. Toast is then buttered and jammed in a close up. Next is a split screen
of both worlds in a close up of mouth as bite into toast and eat. Scene then
changes to in shower where camera is looking up at shower head as water is
turned on. Vision is then obscured by water and when turns off now focused on
shower head of successful life. Shot as hand grabs towel fumbles drops and then
picks up again as camera follows. There is then a close up of tooth paste being
put on tooth brush which changes to a close up on unsuccessful face as he
brushes his teeth. As bends down to spit out he goes out of picture and head
that comes back up is that off successful life. Scene then changes to back in
bedrooms where various shots of each world are taken at close up of them
getting dressed. Unsuccessful is really quick and casual so is also rolling a
joint. There is then a first person shot of the unsuccessful person opening his
front door. Use exposure of light to transition to long shot of successful
person shutting his front door. Next there is a split screen of both men
walking with the camera facing them shooting them in a medium close up. After
this unsuccessful is at bus stop and there is a focus shift to the successful
life in the background. Shot of successful one going into shop followed by tilt

camera tilts down to see unsuccessful one coming out. Then changes to a split
