Since our idea was to be an improv film, we did not start with a script. However, we did compile a long list of ideas of what kinds of things we were going to do in our film. Since we could not meet together before Spring Break, we had to meet after we returned to school. At that point, "March Madness" had just about completed and we were just starting our video. Because of that, a few major changes had to be made.
Originally, we wanted to try to make every single pick to fill out a full bracket. However, after planning out our intro and all of the other pieces to our film, it was clear that picking an entire field of 64 teams was not going to fit into a 5 minute film. So we decided to only make a few of the picks on video and provide a summary at the end to create the effect of a full bracket. Additionally, since March Madness ended as we began to film, our original idea to randomly question people throughout campus did not make sense. Since we wanted to keep it improv, asking people who will win each game would not have worked without us scripting it to make sense. These two factors combined led us to eliminate that idea as a whole.
Throughout the filming process we faced a few minor deterrents. We wanted to do one segment where we ask Siri as well as "Ask Jeeves" but we could not figure out how to get a proper response out of Siri, and it seems Jeeves no longer exists. We were going to utilize the green screen, but that was unfamiliar to us all and we wanted to stick with what we knew to make the best video possible.
All in all, we are all very happy with the way our video turned out. Although the product was slightly different than what we originally had planned, it still worked out to become something we're proud of.
