We have made various changes to our script, certain scenes have been cut due to time restraints and transport  issues, some acts within scenes didn't work as well as hoped and shots had to be slightly altered to fit the continuity so the video flows well.

Scene 3 - Act 3 was cut from the music video, as it was not appropriate to film within a supermarket, instead we filmed the girl coming out of the shop, with the boy sitting on the nearby wall playing guitar.

Instead of using a guitar in some shots, we left it out and in one scene we replaced it with a book.

Instead of the scene where the girl is walking the dog, we simply had the girl and boy walking, with the girl following the boy this time, this shows her interest in him.

Instead of the scene with the girls walking down the stairs, we have used the door to the house as the girls arrive separately.

We changed the ending of the video from scenes on the beach, to scenes in a house, due to weather conditions and lack of transport. Instead of having a fire on the beach, the girls have a small get together in the house and order pizza, the boy turns up with the pizza and the girl kisses him on the cheek as she has realised she likes him.

We also changed who was to play our characters, due to clashing plans and transport issues.
