When we were writing our script we knew that it would really only be a guide line and we would do a lot of improvising on the spot to make the scenes feel more natural and when I was going our our cut I realized we barely used anything from it. I do not think this is a bad thing though because we designed the characters to be as close to us in real life so when we went to play our characters and shoot our scenes we felt that we should input what we would actually say in the situation and say what felt natural. We decided on this because when we tried to stick to the script everything felt very wooden and didn’t sound good at all but when we were able to improvise and come up with things on the spot and go with the flow, everything seemed to come naturally and sound better and I feel the opening became better because of it. We stuck to the main scenes we thought of and we shot all the scenes that were in the script but we found also that our opening was gonna be very short if we didn’t add some more clips that showed and fleshed out the characters more so we decided to add some scenes that weren’t in script like the jar throwing clips. I feel this was a amazing decision because those scenes just came naturally and fit in well with the high school teen tone we were trying to go for. So I feel by combing our script with the improvisations we did that our opening was made better.
