  OPENING SCENE /SCENE 1 In the opening scene of the micro short film- ‘post- it love’, shows a mid shot of a ladies face and from what she is wearing she appears to have a white collar job i.e. in an office. The scene then is panned across from a birds eye view angle showing the lady photocopying paper then pans across to the gentlemen's side on the photocopy next to her which is divided by a wall. The scene then cuts to a long shot showing both the lady and the gentleman doing the same action (refilling the paper tray of the photocopier). The way that the scene has been edited and filmed shows that there is a potential relationship between the two characters in the first scene.

  SCENE 2 When standingin front of the machines the shyness is once again represented because they both peer over the wall-section to glance at the other person simultaneously and quickly look down when they spot the other person staring at them. It then cuts to a close up shot of the girls face and the audience can see a small smile appearing as if to portray her happiness that the guy is looking at her.

  SCENE 3 From thescene of both characters glancing at each other it portrays that both characters are interested in each other. However are shy to speak to each other. The shyness is conveyed again when she leaves a piece of blue paper with a smiley face made out of oranges post-it notes. This portrays shyness as the girl had no confidence to speak to the male, and vice versa. After receiving the post-it the male rolls back on his chair and peers down the office to see the girl also looking at him. As he turns around she quickly returns to her office, hiding from the male. This shows that she is shy towards him and the lack of communication they have between each other. The males has now realized that the female has shown affection for him and wants to do the same back.

  SCENE 5 Scene 5is set in the toilets where the male and the female works. A wide shot is used with the male standing in the centre of the frame fixing his tie; an anonymous character walks into the cubicle behind and shuts the door only to reveal a next step in the love interest between these two characters. However, this time round the female had created a thought bubble with a heart within it on the door of the cubicle, placed perfectly to where the male is standing. The heart represents her loving interest and cleverly tries to give a sign to the male that he may be thinking the same.
