Filming Blog: Delayed Schedule

In this blog, I will discuss the schedule change of my storyboard for my movie. For the past weekend or so, I have been editing my storyboard with replacing the park or shopping scenes; after further analysis, the number of places I have does not necessarily correlate to my genre; in fact, it made my schedule much more complicated and the story less complete. With the story constantly jumping from area to area, it discourages the consistency of the idea behind my movie; my story can still be an action genre when applied in a different way. I found out that my genre is applicable in the stance of movement and dynamics from a specific location rather than jumping from multiple locations which force fast developments between characters rather than developing a full relationship. I want my story to flow smoothly while also holding the original plot in mind; this is specifically hard to do in that situation of introducing many new and different topics. Conclusively, I have decided to fix the part of the storyboard with the park scenes; those scenes are very repetitive of what already happened (as in people questioning the college girl) and lead in a bunch of supporting characters that do not add much to the storyline itself. Whether we admit it or not, every character in a book has some degree of significance; it does not make any significance when multiple people all represent the same idea.
I decided to replace the park scenes with an extended version of the shopping mall situation; the twist is that more of her friends coincidentally meet the college girl before she leaves. This allows my story to remain consistent with the scenery and with the characters' relationships; it specifically focuses on the contrast of relationships between the college girl with her close friend versus her other friends. Although this may seem like a difference in personality and "fake" identity, people tend to do this gesture all the time; where people act in different ways around different people. Overall, I believe adjusting the park scenes were the greatest decision as it allows flexibility, consistency, and a formally complete movie introduction.
