On the storyboard we has planned to include a car crash accident at the end of the film opening. We had first planned on showing the main character reach out for her phone while driving and then having sudden movements and making the screen turn black with sound effects of a crash. We have already filmed the "car crash" but when I combined all the footage, it doesn't flow correctly and doesn't get the point across. One problem about this, is that when Gabby very valiantly volunteered to become the main actor she forgot to mention that she cannot sit in the drivers seat because she is afraid to drive. In my opinion, it is very difficult to film a car crash without the car moving but hey, who's not up for the challenge. After the problem arose we had to find a solution, or we would of had to film the whole thing from the beginning with a different actor.
I decided to turn to the web and research new ways on how to fake a car crash. I encountered a YouTube video that shows what specific shots we could use. The video "How to make film a fake car crash" is very helpful, and I strongly believe that with the help of this tutorial we can definitely make the crash work. It begins with one shot of a car approaching a street with a cut in the middle of the driver reaching for their phone. After, the shot is paired with a front shot of the point of view of the incoming car, then the screen switches to black and it relies on sound effects. This is very useful because since our main actor, Gabby, can't actually move a car, we could use another actor in this scene since the face doesn't necessarily have to show.
