We looked at the iconography of menace in The opening title sequence of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo 
Film opening: ZEST

Additional scenes using (say)  4 difficult couples visiting the restaurant; straight cuts; voice over for context
  1. Grumpy oldies
  2. Metalheads
  3. Celebrities
  4. Embarrassing parents ("I have a THIN person inside of me just waiting to get out!" and her mother says, "Only one dear?")
Example of email request and outline of task:


Dear Mr K**** and Mrs H****

We would like to ask you if you would be able to make a cameo appearance in our film opening, a comedy about a restaurant called ‘Zest’.

You would play a couple of grumpies who exchange one line of dialogue:

Woman: I feel quite queezy about the beef, for all we know it could be zebra, or hippo, or giraffe

Man: It’s my cholesterol I’m bothered about
