First of All we had to make some changes to our original storyboard. Yasmin Unfortunately left our group after some absents from the decision making process and therefore we had to continue the process without her :(
As Yasmin was the main character in our Film we had to adapt the opening to fit in with another Character. This also effected the fact that we wanted a dog to feature in our opening. therefor we used our backup option of using Reece's dog "Charley" instead. Charley is a very well trained dog that was very obedient while filming this opening sequence. Because Yasmin's Dog "Tyler" wasn't even a year old, it would of been very hard to train and would of been more difficult to have on the set as we didn't want Tyler running off. Charley on the other hand is very well trained and is a lot more obedient than Tyler. This then worked out for the best as the dog did what she was told and it was delivered really well for our final film.
Something else that we changed was our location. we was going to film some parts of the opening in Coates as there is a large field which is unoccupied and would have been great for our opening. But due to some weather conditions and travel arrangements, we could not go to Coates to film. Therefore we did the entire filming process on the school grounds in an area which was secluded from other students and where our filming could be not interrupted.
Fay also had to take over the Role of main character in the opening as Yasmins departure left a gap in it. Fay did a really good job in the Film sequence as she had to learn what to do and the way to act in a short period of time. There was a couple of parts we had to re-shoot as fay wasn't happy with the outcome, so we did so and the opening turned out to be a lot better than originally planned.
The ending was also slightly different in the opening to what it is shown as on the storyboard. Instead of the chasing sequence going on for a while longer we cut it so that we could cause more drama and tension in that way. Due to the fact that we couldn't get to Coates, we also cus our ending which was the female protagonist running through some trees and appearing in an open field. Instead the attacker got to her quicker, and also in the same location. Originally both myself and Fay where to be other Zombie like creatures, but as fay had to become the Protagonist, it was easier for Reece to be a Single attacker in the Woods.
