When filming and editing this project, several things had to be changed in order to match what we wanted. To begin with, one of our first changes was a side character. Due to a mistake we made while creating the storyboard, we thought Nicholas Wilson was Nicole Wilson. With this mistake, we just changed the character from a boy to a girl. We also changed the outfit they were supposed to be in. The next thing we added onto this was that my friend, Scott, would play one of the males roles, This way Hayley and I did not have to change back in forth to film. During editing, we also realized that the video would be too long, so I had to cut out some scenes. For example, the scenes where we are seen placing the pictures onto the whiteboard. As well as the scene where Hayley and I follow Aaron Nelson into the alley. One scene we added however, was at the end where Vivian is lying in bed and wakes up realizing it was all a dream. This is because Hayley and I felt like the opening sequence did not really lead into the storyline, but instead just ends it. So, we made it into a dream so that the rest of the movie could consist of more detail. Like it would have the scenes where Vivian and Hazel are getting bullied by each victim. There could also be more detail and planning that would allow Vivian to replicate the dream, but put a twist onto it. The final thing Hayley and I changed was the music. In a previous blog, I sated we would use the non copyrighted music we found on a website. However, this was very tricky to place into the film. In the beginning, we tried to make the sing into a VoiceOver so the audience could hear it. But, this sounded weird and muffled.  So, we ended up using a song that was written and given to us by CapCut.
