Condensing the script

'Quality over quantity' 

As the cinematographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of scenes and shots that were included in Lauren's (director) original screenplay. I felt that we didn't have sufficient time to film all of the scenes and that filming that much content would lead to a potentially rushed production, lacking in quality.  Natalie (producer) was also wary about this as she was in charge of timekeeping and realised that it was not feasible to film the large amount of scenes in the limited amount of time we had. Therefore, our whole group, condensed the material, by reducing the number of scenes between Michael and the boy. We prioritised scenes, which were the most relevant to the storyline and visual appearance of the film and cut out unnecessary parts.
