Start of opening sequence - mainly mid-shots, non-invasive for the character, not confined or uncomfortable - demonstrating that his home is where he feels comfortable and safe
(mid-shot)
Middle - more close-ups, tighter framing - emphasises his discomfort in the crowds, the audience can see his expression and understand that he is uncomfortable
(focused on Christopher, medium close-up)
End - close-ups/medium close-ups during collision between Naomi and Christopher, seems quite invasive for Christopher; and shot-reverse-shots so the audience can see the conversation from both perspectives and feel involved
Long shot as they walk away together
Tracking from behind through hallway to bathroom in morning routine, tracking shots during walk through Southbank
(long shot - the audience can see the location)
Continuity: match on action, daily routine (e.g. picking up the clock, buttoning shirt), collision, conversation
Mise-en-scene/composition: clinically clean bedroom, nothing out of place to establish his OCD
Wardrobe contains few items, the clothes are basically the same
London - shots would have him in focus, as isolated as possible
Iconographic Southbank setting
Naomi dressed in neutral colours, i.e. beige/white; makes her seem innocent and open, like female character from It's Kind of A Funny Story:
