Feedback and Revisions

After receiving feedback on my midterm submission, my group and I have decided on a few parts of the movie the change or remove.
The most important thing that needs to be changed is the movie length. As it is, the opening is three minutes long, which is a minute over the required time. Therefore, we need to remove some scenes to shorten it and make it admissible. A scene we want to take out is the one after the phone call, where Giovanne gets in his car and drives away. It will be replaced with a quick fade out and fade in to the scene where Giovanne is pulling into the parking lot. This scene isn't important to the movie, so taking it out will not make the movie confusing, and will actually make the movie flow better.

Another problem we had was costume design. In the scenes with Daniella, she was wearing a Drug Free Youth t-shirt and an ID on a lanyard. This choice of clothing doesn't fit the typical style of a shady criminal, so we will have her wear something more representative of that stereotype.

Finally, we will edit the phone conversation so it will flow better. As it is, there are long pauses between speaking lines that make the phone call seem choppy. We will edit those pauses out to make the conversation flow like a normal phone call.
