Plot Summary: A day before the main character Doug's wedding, him and his three friends go on a 24 hour Stag Party in Las Vegas.

'The Hangover' film is within the comedy genre, which contrasts with ours, however the content is extremely similar to ours but with a comic twist. For example, the friends intend to go on a night out and enjoy themselves. They get ready in the hotel; Grace gets ready for the night in her room. They plan their night ahead as they drink shots; Grace and her friend Becky also take shots before leaving for the club. Three of the friends are unaware that their friend gives them a drug which is usually used as a date rape drug, nicknames a 'Roofie'; Grace is spiked by a similar drug and is also unaware. They also wake up the next morning with not much memory of the night before; Grace wakes up in the bar man's bed unaware of the night but aware of her current situation.
Similar shots in this film include:
This shot above is a medium close up of the main character Doug just about to take a shot before him and his friends head out, similarly in our film our character Becky also takes a shot before they go out. These type of shots set the mood for the audience and tells them that the night ahead of them will be a wild one, and the characters may get themselves into trouble.
The shot above also shows the main character Doug in the back of a car he isn't familiar with, similar to our main character Grace. However the difference is that this from The Hangover is from the morning after the drug was taken and it is a police car that the friends stole. However in our film Grace is taken in the bar man's car the same night while the drug still has its effects.
The screenshot above is a photo of the friends all together drinking with the nightlife background behind them, this is similar to our film as more in the club is actually filmed, showing the characters Grace and Becky drinking and dancing before the events occur with the date rape drug. The shots give a positive feel to the audience before the films take an unexpected turn.
