Script Scaling

Originally I had planned to feature several different conversations in this piece with several friends at the party. However once I had put together my first cut with the footage I had recorded of just Roddy and Ottilie talking together it became quickly apparent that at least one of these dialogues was going to need to be cut as keeping it in would cause me to run over my five minute time limit.

However the other conversation I had hoped to keep in however decided agains't this as reshooting these scenes was proving difficult later in the production run.

This removal I believe has actually focused the piece which previously may have jumped around between different conversations too much rather than focusing too much on the dramatic centre of the film Danny and Sam's relationship. With the removal of these two other conversations I believe that the text is now properly focused on this relationship which had been my original intention.
