Soooo as stated my blog post “Back in The Lab”, when editing Nyles noticed some issues with the flow of our story and felt like we needed a change. He felt as if us trying to mix teenage dream with horror was something that was do-able, we just couldn’t do it with the time we had. Us attempting to start with such a strong upbeat and fun montage and then spontaneously switching to a slasher horror movie was just too random and not appealing.
He brought this to the group’s attention and at first, I was a little reluctant to accepting this change because I had worked so hard on envisioning and portraying this project. I also was upset about the time that was technically wasted in filming the ending. Originally it sounded like he was suggesting to refilm the whole opening but we all talked about it for a while and came to an idea. We were not going to start from the beginning or refilm what we already had. We decided to film an alternate ending and then in editing work on color grading, sound, and overall style to portray a more horror themed opening. Since Nyles was the one who brought this issue to our attention, our group’s dynamic shifted as he took on more of a creative director mode. So that we were on the same page, we looked at some references and verbally planned out how filming was going to go.
Follow along to see how this change will go!
