Changes we have made

Actors

Originally we asked Reece, Jack, Nathan and Jake but due to other commitments there wasn’t a day in which we could film that suited all of us, except Jack. This was very unfortunate and left me and my group devastated. However, we knew that quick decisions had to take place therefore we managed to get another 3 boys to play the roles. The boys included:

·         Jack Marshall

·         Paul Taylor

·         Joe Brown

·         Conor Cooke

The number of actors

Initially we planned to have 4 boys in the group but now we have decided that we may have to cut the number down to 3, this depends on whether we have time next week to film Joe Brown. However, it is not a massive problem if we do not have time to film him it just means that our plans of having the screen cut into four sections, each showing a different boy receiving the text message, would not be able to be used anymore.

The use of an over shoulder shot

At first we used an over shoulder shot in each footage of the boys receiving the text, we decided to use this as it would reveal the text message saying ‘Meet at Car Park @ 2:00pm’. When we attempted to do this shot type in the reshoot, the text was blurry therefore we have decided to reveal the text in the first scene when Rick is typing it. 

How the opening sequence begins

When me and Jake watched the footage back from the reshoot we thought that the action started to quickly, as though there was no build up to it. Therefore we have decided to begin with an establishing shot of the house then a shot of the front of the car, the back of the car then back to an establishing shot in which we would see Jake being dragged out the house by Rick.
