Change of Plan

We have a new group member, Sam, and so we tried to think practically about how we could overcome certain obstacles. For example: we had to find a nursery rhyme book which included all of the nursery rhymes we needed. This proved to be difficult because we would of had to make our own, and we needed Jake and he was unavailable at the time. We also have to do some re-shooting, so we thought we could change the idea, and include Sam more, as she helped come up with the idea.

So, today in Media we decided we are now using a snake instead of a spider because it is more easily accessible for us. We also feel children are more inclined to be scared of snakes than spiders. We can now get rid of the Nursery Rhyme book which simplifies some of our problems, and we have a pet snake at our decided setting, which is used to being handled. We will have the 1997 film 'Anaconda' playing on the TV, as this relates well to snakes, obviously. And we can also have the boy dreaming his pet snake eats him, just like in the film 'Anaconda'. This simplifies our lack of spider films available. We have to do some re-shooting anyway, so changing the plot line isn't too complicated for us, it doesn't change our schedule. We plan to film at the weekend, and can start on the animation dream sequence this week.
