The opening scene shows a confident young women in old fashioned clothes walking down the streets of London. The street and busy moving cars could act as a metaphor for how swinging London is just passing her by, but she doesn't seem to mind too much that she's not living the sixties dream. The, like other iconic sixties film, the protagonist is then seen swinging her handbag to indicate her own confidence and rebellion - this could also been seen as ironic as the old-fashion yet confident protagonist is taking part in a typical scene of the sixties.
As the female protagonist, Georgy, approaches the shops window to look at the latest fashion. Through the cinematography looking through the window at georgy and the figure expression, it's clear that she is interested to try new and modern hairstyles. However, as she briefly goes off scene, it's clear that she's apprehensive about the idea of change. As she walks into the shop, she's quickly ushered by a worker of the hairdressers. When he looks at her and touches her hair it's clear that he's very judgmental about the way she looks. The camera then shows close up shots of each hair style. As it's quickly changes from one style to the other, it shows how unsure Georgy is about having her hair styled differently, however she gives into the peer pressure and changes her hairstyle.
After coming out of the hairdressers, Georgy looks at herself in the mirror and is quite shocked she she find the style doesn't suite her. Georgy's costume is typically old-fashioned and with the modern hairstyle, she feels as if she's living a lie. Georgy then runs to try and fix her hair when she eventually gets to a public toilet. Without hesitation she wets her hair so she can quickly restore he comfortable style.
