The first thing we decided to change within our production was to not have the Antagonist using supernatural powers. Before and during the scene in which we were going to use it, we had thought that it would just end up making the scene look unrealistic as it would be too hard to film and incorporate. We completely removed this element from our production and are glad it didn't effect anything else major within our production s a whole.
Another thing we decided to change was some of the use of dialogue. We didn't have too much dialogue in our production to begin with, but some of the bits we did have seemed to be quite unnecessary so we got rid or adapted them. We decided that it was best not to have as much dialogue in the production anyway because we felt it might ruin the flow of the action sequences and break it up in an unusual way. During editing, Maddy had compared two different versions of our production, one with the extra dialogue and one without. She had decided to stick with having the one without the extra dialogue as she felt it wasn't lacking anything and was, therefore, fine the way it was. An example of a time we got rid of dialogue was when the Antagonist is battling and about to shoot the victim and says "You didn't have to die". We decided to scrap this because of the fact that they don't actually shoot the victim until slightly later on, and we felt as though this acted as a kind of spoiler for the events ahead. This is because it would let the audience know what is about to happen, but without it, it creates a surprise for the audience and is more suspenseful.
Also, while editing Maddy changed a few things:
On our shot lists and storyboards it is shown that when the Antagonist shoots the victim for the first time, you see the gun firing and the victim get hit and fall. However, during editing this was changed to where you just see the Antagonist lift up the gun to shoot and then a black screen with a gunshot, after which you see the victim fall. This change is because Maddy noticed that while editing the sound, there was a quite spot in the audio soundtrack, so instead was changed to stop before the black screen and gunshot, and then begin to build back up after.

Another change Maddy made during editing was during the scenes while the Antagonist and Victim are in the woodland and forest area. More specifically, when the victim stops at a tree and the Antagonist tries to shoot, but hits the tree instead. So, when editing, it was changed so that you only see the Antagonist pull out the gun and the victim run again. This is because if a gunshot hitting a tree was added, it would look strange and fake
