New Shooting Script

        We decided to update and change our narrative slightly after we had to change actors in order to make the story flow better and become clearer to our target audience. We decided to have the split screen section of them getting ready at the start instead of towards the end. Also instead of having the artist singing whilst in the story, we decided to make the narrative and the performance seperate, and create and on going cross cutting sequence between the story and the artist's perfomance. We also decided we needed quicker cuts to match the music, so we also took this into consideration when planning the new shotting script.

Here is the updated shooting script:
