Differences from planning/storyboard

Due to either problems or change in ideas, our final production differed highly from our plan.

First of all we were unable to record the guitar scene and the credits part as we unable to get the guitar at the film location. We replaced this with static pictures for the credits. We used these pictures as a quick introduction to the characters.


Another significant part missing is the conversation between the 3 main characters. All though we still wished to include this, after filming all of the parts we were unable to make the footage flow, and as a result decided to remove this from the opening. As this was a large proportion of our opening we decided to extend our scenes of the characters waking up. We felt this was actually more suitable to the opening as it helped us create more suspense after the reaction to the letter. It also allowed us to introduce our characters more before the storyline begins.


Throughout the extract we also added extra shots to our storyboard, although not changing the storyline much, it allowed added fluency and pace to our extract, creating a more interesting and suspenseful opening. We feel these changes have improved our opening from our planning and although there are parts we would like to have included and improved, we are still happy that the changes have in general improved our final production.
