During the montage sequence, I thought about the pace very carefully. The shots with Betty cooking and dashing left and right between the kitchen and William's booth decrease as time goes by whilst the shots with William eating remain the same each time we see him eating. I want to build on William's shape grammar of triangles and squares which comes across as him being slow and turn him into even more of an obstacle for Betty as time goes by during the montage sequence. This sequence is the climax point of the film. The fastest shot of Betty is 0.15 secs which is around 3 frames. Thinking of the audience, and knowing that any cut has to last 6 frames at least, this won't matter too much as they would have seen the same shot of Betty dashing left twice already and the music I have planned to use in my film will keep in time with this sequence and will exaggerate Betty's desire to leave the diner and go party with her friends.
The timing seen on this storyboard is just a rough idea of what I think each shot should last for. There are 53 shots at the moment and the whole film is around the 2:45 - 3:00 mark.
