The original plan was, let's just say, ambitious. I wanted an entire extra scene in the beginning just showing Jimmy and Elvis getting dressed and preparing weapons, then I wanted them to have the discussion in a diner, then the whole scene with Lily was supposed to happen. How on Earth did I ever think I would be able to fit that in two minutes??? In my defense, I played it out in my head and timed it, and it did fit. However, let's be fair: it would have felt waaaay too fast paced. After talking with peers during group review, and my media teacher, I decided that I should one, focus on Lily as the main character, and two, should remove the diner scene all together. Later, while writing the script, I also decided to remove the opening scene of them getting ready. I had also originally planned on making the entire film go along to the music. I decided to scrap this idea however, because the music would interfere with the dialogue heavy opening.
Although I had to change my original idea quite a bit, I am very happy with the result. I like the way the opening flows together, and I think I did a good job considering this is my first time doing something like this alone. This project has been quite a journey, and I'm happy with the way I'm leaving it.
I'll be taking Aice Media A Level next year, but until then, this is me signing off. I've really really enjoyed this class, and I can't wait to be back. :)
