Final Preparations and Last Minute Decisions

As a final preparation before filming our Thriller Opening Sequence, my group and I decided to do a practise run in costume and on location with a member of the production team supervising as to give feedback on things we may have overlooked.

The first thing we noticed was that with a cast of five the set was incredibly cramped, and so first and foremost we were advised to cut down to three - removing ourselves of one boy and one girl. After doing so, Matt (the member of the production team) went through the impracticality of our plot - why would a large group of seemingly capable teenagers be making rather 'rough-and-ready' weapons to attack one single, unarmed boy? As such, he advised that we make them hunt something large and ambiguous, something worth their numbers and preparation, like some kind of monster…

We agreed, and as such changed our idea accordingly; consequently, when we go out to film later on we will have these changes in mind. The costumes, location and set design will remain the same.
