Having successfully completed the majority of our planning our focus as a group has now been towards refining the small details of our work. For example, upon reviewing the original flowchart slight amendments have been made. We decided that each alternative ending should represent a different theme: safety and relief, self-inflicted isolation, strength and survival, and lastly doomed inevitable defeat. We felt like this would add an increased sense of importance and significance to the choices the views made and show a lesson. We also altered the beginning sequence in order to add a plot twist, which allowed the opportunity to incorporate foreshadowing expositions. Furthermore we refined the backstories of each character, adding a considerable amount of death; by doing so we affirmed our understanding of the characters as well as aiding the actors get into the mind-sets of their character. We felt that creating greater depth would enable us to portray the characters more effectively whilst authenticating the film more.
Upon identifying these improvements, we have come to realise the importance of self-criticism. In hindsight, choosing an indoor setting with a similar isolated appearance may have been more beneficial. This would negate potential issues during filming such as the weather, or accessibility. Despite this, we are still satisfied with our choice of a wooden area as it conveniently accommodates our creative plotline and theme.
