Group Chat/Final Decisions

Today my group and I decided to skype because we are all in different places during spring break. We collaboratively decided we needed to shorten our film, because it was going to run over the 2-minute mark.  My group and I had a total of 5 scenes planned out, but this would take to long to film, so we decided to cut some parts of the first and second scene because they are not as relevant and meaningful as the other scenes. In a full movie these scenes would be very important, but because we only have a 2-minute window we cut out some of the intricate details we had planned out for the first scenes such as the main character getting ready, forgetting to lock his door, and the car having warning blinkers. All these minor details would mean something later in the film, but we have to cut them out. Cutting out these shots allows us to combine scenes one and two to make it into a less than 30 second first scene which gives us more time to film and work on our important or action scenes. Later my partners and I will be uploading a revised film outline where scene one and two and combined into scene one and slightly shorter second scene because it also contains irrelevant details that we do not wish to include in our film.  My group and I will then combine all the film outlines together and make a final film outline which will be our official film outline for our film opening, we want our film outline to be detailed as possible because we do not want to run into any issues while filming, we want to know exactly what we are filming, where we are filming it, and why we are filming it. All these factors will influence our final film opening. I am super excited to start filming because I think our end project is going to be amazing.
