The introduction to the show is done through an acted scene of the hpone ringingi and a conversation between Micheal

and the BBC. In this he gives to concept of the program, adding a little humour such as But I havent got eighty days, Im It then moves from him sitting on the desk to the airport, keeping the same speech going and using the clips to illustrate what is being said.

As an example: Air travel is just a way of seeing airports, real travel is something you read about in the bookstands and seat 39k

The introduction is a light and cheery fanfare with a ticking clock in the background. It shows postcard images of places he plans to travel, for example the pyramids with a camel sillohette moving across the screen. As it is from 1989, the animation is of this time and would appeal to the audience then.

The ticking noise from the introduction music continues into the first scene, and a title appears. The shot establishes the setting of his home as he prepares for his journey. He discusses with his wife how Fog travelled with hardly anything as he tries to pack.

A range of shots are used which suggests the scene was either done multiple time or it was filmed by multiple cameras. Th editing is of normal pace, fitting with the conversation. It is mainly used to keep the scene interesting, rather than for a dramatic effect. There is no music as the focus point is the conversation. This scene allows a personal insight into Micheals life as the audience sees his home and his family.

A new scene begins as the talking comes to an end, it overlaps slightly and the title appears. It shows the day, date and where they are. Music also begins, it is calm and orchesteral, fitting with the voice over that begins. Micheal tells the historic wstory of Finnius Fog and his journey. A little humour is added with the final line but then of course, he was fictional, Ive actualy got to do it. Another animation begins, this time it illustrates the voice over that explains where Fog went, and where he would be going also. He gives a lists the countries in order of his journey to India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghi and Japan.

An establishing shot is used to show where his journey begins. Victoria Station is a well known place so it is instantly recognisable to the audience. The humourus theme is kept throughout as he mentions how Fog had his servant, Paspatu. and I shall have my Paspatu, the trouble is hes five people and works the the BBC. The comedic line is coupled with a shot of him meeting his crew. By showing the crew it adds a less formal feeling to the journey and engages the audience as it almost feels like a behind the scenes exclusive into the making of it.

This shot of the newspaper serves two purposes. It shows the date for the people who watched this originially, and adds historic context to later watchers as it was shown in rerun. This is where the five minutes ends. The journey hasnt technically begun yet as they are still in Britian. Each episode is an hour long.

Micheal begins his journey now, the train leaves the station and there are shots of his family waving goodbye. These switch beween wideshots and close ups. As the train pulls away, a harp instramental begins, as does his voiceover. It becomes grand and marching as theshots of the scenery continue.

The voiceover continues as he sits in the comfort of his train carrige and eats. Then flash back chiming music plays and a grand fanfare begins as a training montage begins.

The whole thing lasts 1minute 18 seconds. In this time a range of shots are used to show what he went through. His includes the shots, thew physical training and the mental. Conversations of overlayed with the music, showing the new speakeer, e.g. a nurse, for a few seconds before going back to the montage. The last scene zooms out and a conversation seamlessly begins.

The next part goes back to the present and the voiceover contiunes. A range of shots are usd to establish his setting, such as a wide shot of the London Skyline and of the building hes entering. A close shot is used when he traces and reads out the date written. There is a lot of focus on the historical background in these first ten minutes rather than getting on a train and going to the first location. This is something outr group want to avoid as we have roughly 5 minutes to get as much in as we can and make it exciting. While watching this I began to grow bored. The pace was slow and there wasnt enough action. Although this would have been appropriate for the viewers at the time, we need to be modern.
