Deleted First Scene

This was our original first scene for our film. After filming it and watching it through, we decided it was wrong for our film. There were too many characters for the opening scene, and the scene as a whole did not work well with our film. We thought that Leon falling over and the comments from the other students drew attention away from the story-line and also made the film quite comical, neither of these did we want. We wanted to focus more on the sinister element to our film, and not draw the audience's attention away from the essential action in the scene of Horatio following Mia. We put this deleted scene onto youtube.com to see whether other people would agree with us, these are the comments we received:

The trip seems a bit too comical and slightly unreal

but however comparing that characters clothing to the female

characters he does seem isolated from society. As well as this

there are too many characters introduced within the opening where

its hard to work out who is the main character and most important.

its a bit comical the fall because like he kicked the metal

thing before hahaa and its a bit over dramatic

the comedy doesnt really fit into the conventions of a

psychological thriller
