Planning - Changes To Storyboard

So, after my narrative shoot on Friday, I realised that some of my storyboarded shots wouldn't work with the tempo of the song, nor did they look good on film, and I took some shots which turned out better than expected though I haven't made room for them within my storyboard. Today, I re-watched all my clips and decided which ones to put into the storyboard, and have decided to make the following changes to the narrative element of my final piece.

Changes to Narrative element of the storyboard:
  • Replacing the shot of Nick against the wall throwing the photo (0.33) with either long shot of characters fighting behind counter or through car windscreen or over table
  • Making the shot of Nick yelling down the phone a split screen, with Naomi yelling down her phone as the other side
  • Replacing the swinging phone cord with either Nick yelling in the car or the protagonists staring at eachother
  • No protagonist's mouths miming lyrics - to be replaced with either Nick storming out of the car or Nome against wall (or both on a split screen - to be decided in editing)
  • Swing shot to be changed to an extreame high angle (as this looked more professional)
  • Replacing the shot of the backs of the protagonist's heads with either a bubble shot or a cloud watching shot
  • No close up of Naomi's mouth miming lyrics, instead of this part of the screen - have either the bubble blowing or the cloudwatching
  • Replacing the smashed vodka bottle with a tracking shot of the counter filled with alcohol
  • Replacing the POV of characters miming lyrics to eachother with either Nick on his own on the same bench as the prior shot or another fighting shot (over table)
  • Replacing the slide shot with bubbles or cloudwatching or flower
  • Replacing splashing water over face with Nick looking out of window
  • Replacing girl running into shot with a happy shot
  • Then swapping Nick burning the photo with this happy shot (as it fits better with the ending this way)
I realise there are a fair amount of changes, however, I'm glad I recognised these before post-production, and they are mainly because I had far better shots of other things as opposed to the original ideas being wrong.
