This is my favourite scene in the whole Opening, mainly because of the effort that went into to it, and just the fact that it looks really professional. The idea came from seeing this style sequence in many films, not just thrillers. For example, the fast-forwarding scene ours is most similar to I would say is Zach Braff's 'Garden State', where the main character has just taken drugs and sits in one spot the whole party, which is sort of what we were trying to do except, we wanted him to just be sitting there because he has no one else to sit with and is a recluse.
As you can clearly see here, Ben knows exactly what and when things need to happen, he is confident in his decisions and proves why it is fitting for him to be the director. All the extras were involved in this scene, which made it very hard to be able to do this first time without mistakes, in the end it took three takes till we were happy with the results, the cast all did a great job taking it seriously and Jake for managing to stay still for the whole time.
