Change of plot

When Ms Ledwidge looked over the footage we had edited together so far, she decided that it would be best for us to change the plot slightly - this was because some of the clips showed that the setting was a house, although I had tried to have it filmed in a way where this wasn't obvious.
She decided to have our opening filmed in a school (which was what I initially wanted to do) and gave us some ideas that I later put into a synopsis:

"It is exam season, and everyone is stressing out over their revision and studying. However, no one is stressing out more than one student, Alexis, who wants to get top results so she can go to university. She comes up with a plan: steal a memory stick that has the exam papers she’ll be sitting, along with the answers, so she can succeed. When the stick’s theft is discovered and the exams are suspended, it’s up to a fellow student named Saira to find and return it so that the other pupils don’t fall behind a year with their studies."

Additionally, because Amirah and I had difficulty finding people to play our characters, Ms Ledwidge suggested that we should film each other playing the roles and organise a day after school when we could film.
