Hello, my fellow humans.
So, me and Justin planned to change up the script a little bit. Instead of being shot at AMC, we decided to shoot it at Town Center. The overall storyline stays the same, but the change in location gives us more flexibility with lighting and movement. Town Center has more open spaces, interesting alleyways, and better contrast between well-lit areas and darker, more isolated spots which will help build tension.
We also refined the way the interaction between Justin and the woman plays out. The scene starts with Justin coming out of the ice cream shop where the woman “accidentally” drops her wallet. They start talking and the conversation feels natural, casual at first but with subtle hints that she has an ulterior motive. As they walk Justin gets a call from a mysterious person claiming to be a friend which immediately shifts the tone. Justin starts feeling uneasy and when he notices the shadowy figure following them things escalate quickly.
One key change we’re working on is how the chase plays out. We want to make sure the pacing feels right so we’re mapping out where the camera follows them and how to show the gradual realization that the woman is leading Justin into a trap. The alleyway has to feel like a natural escape route but also suspicious enough that the audience starts questioning her intentions. The moment she "falls" and he tries to help her up will be the turning point, timing here is everything.
Finally, we’re making the ending clearer. When the shadowy figure catches up it’s revealed that the woman was in on the whole thing. We’ll include a quick flashback scene maybe through a newspaper headline or a shot of the two of them together beforehand showing she was never just a random passerby. The last shot of her wearing Justin’s stolen necklace should hit hard making it clear that everything was planned from the start.
