PD4C - Assignment - Screenplay Changes

I decided to change certain parts of the script that was given to us. Here is where:

1. The name of the character was changed from Bogdan to Neil Down. There was no major reason for this change.

2. In scene one, Neil stands by a pond instead of by the roadside. This is because it was difficult to find a safe roadside to film at that had a grass verge nearby. Cars are still clearly visible behind him, so that part was kept in-tact.

3. In scene five, Neil is sitting another room within the ‘government office’ to count his money instead of on a bench. This was because I couldn’t find a suitable external location where a bench or some form of seating was available with an amateur football game (or something similar) was being played behind. Filming indoors would eliminate this problem yet would still achieve the same effect.

4. In scene nine, instead of showing Neil swimming underneath the water, I decided to show him doing weights in his bedroom. This was due to required equipment being unavailable to me (waterproof video cameras etc.) and it still showed him doing a general activity he enjoys and partakes in to relax him and relieve his stresses.

5. In scene ten, we return to the location that was used in scene one. This was changed to convey continuity and impact of the film and shows how the beginning and end of the story has changed.

The rest remains unchanged, however.
