When the day of filming came for the opening scene of our trailer, the lead male character was severely ill and couldnt attend filming. As this was the only day we were able to book the swimming pool for the scene we had to adapt the scene accordingly to ensure the opening scene was believable and simple for the audience to understand. We discussed the changes as a group and decided to use close up shots of the main female character around the swimming pool area and to maintain the point of view and mid shot of the same character when drowning in the pool. To ensure the audience understand the opening scene we will have a voiceover from the female character, Odyne, explaining the incident in which she believes her brother attempted to kill her and left her to die. This will then ensure the audience sympathise with Odyne creating an instant dislike to the brother Iago. This interference with the shot list and filming day is difficult and could have delayed more filming but the group made a good plan and coped well under pressure. Changing the shot list wasn't ideal but it ensured the filming schedule remained on target.
Well done, the adaptation will work , good plan and good adjustments.
