Scene 1(original draft)

 We ultimately had to set this original footage aside because the environment simply wasn't working in our favor. While the scene had potential, we struggled with unpredictable lighting that shifted constantly, making it impossible to capture a consistent look. It felt like we were fighting the location rather than using it to tell the story, and it became clear that we needed a more stable space to get the visual quality the project deserved.

​The audio proved to be just as much of a challenge. Constant background noise kept bleeding into the takes, drowning out the nuances of the dialogue and making the audio feel cluttered. Rather than trying to patch over those issues in editing, we decided to start fresh in a setting where we could finally control the elements. Scrapping the scene was a tough call, but it allowed us to focus on the performance without the distractions of a noisy, poorly lit environment.
