After literally no progress during, and since, the Christmas period, I have decided to make major changes to the story. Due to the fact that I have only filmed about half of the full five minutes so far, these changes are very possible, and the new storyline is fully compatible with the footage I already have.
- Instead of discussing the mysterious murders with several, seemingly random students, Josh only discusses the murders with Paige.
- As the only other student Josh talks to, Paige, is a girl, logically and narratively, it would make more sense to have the characters romantically involved.
- The smaller cast, and the relationship between Josh and Paige, the plot of the film can focus more on the relationships of the characters, with trust and honestly being major factors.
- Due to the relationship between Josh and Paige, a new ending has been written, where Paige discovers that Josh is in fact the murderer himself (he is pretending to to investigate the murder to hide the fact from the public that he is actually committing them), Paige leaves him, and Josh decides he can't have her revealing the secret, and so kills her.
- Having the relationship being a vital part of the storyline, there will be a few scenes with Paige by herself, creating her own subplot of 'helping' Josh to investigate, finding evidence against him, then eventually attempting to convince him to hand himself over to the police.
Although the list above looks complicated, I am sure that the new storyline will make much more sense than the previous storyline, and will have a lot more of the narrative happening onscreen.
