General Changes from the Original Plan

Most of what I have done is still the same as what I had before. There was the change from not having the 'attempt at funky eye opening techniques' as I put it before as it would be outside my capabilities. The change just meant that I filmed from the mother's angle as opposed to the son's. I had also originally planned to have the montage filmed in Australia but that was impossible due to me putting it off and I'm glad I didn't as later I got a marginally better camera to record here.

The biggest changes came from my original Concept where I thought I was going to make a mockumentary. Thsi quickly turned into a documentary due to it fitting my general ideas better found in the treatment. The original concepts connotations of characters and also the whole testing family dynamics were still relevant. I mention exaggerated realities in the concept plan, they are now all just realities. The exaggeration was for the mockumentary. Documentaries wouldn't be documentaries if they purpsefully exaggerated what was going on. The montage wasn't one going backwards through the trip, simply a montage. And I did end up using When Doves Cry.

So mostly the final product follows the original plans.
