Screenplay/Script

This is the Screenplay and script that Gusde and Lamiya did before filming.

Storyboard

This is the storyboard I've made before we started filming.

This is our first version of the storyboard.

Revision for the final documentary video:
After multiple trial and error with shooting, we decided to start with the 1st interview with the operator at the beginning of the scene. The reason we did this is that we want to immediately hook the audience with the dialogue that raises questions in them rather than an immediate answer, while also making the viewer connect faster to the information and feel more real and personal case rather than another crime story. There were not many changes for the cult scene, as it went perfectly well from shots 1 to 3, aside from just adding the interview dialogue and scenes in between them.

Everything went according to plan until shots 5 and 6, where there were slight changes to the character's outfit and the lighting of the drone operator interview scene. After shot 7B, we added a new interview scene of a local citizen who witnessed the cult's actions. This gives the audience more information and a deeper storyline regarding the cult than leaving simple questions unanswered. In between the interview, we also combined some shots of the cult HQ and flyers to match the dialogue and give a more realistic sense. In the end, we added a medium shot of the journalist from his camera getting dragged by the cult members and extra footage of the drone getting jammed with pictures that may answer the viewer's question before ending it with an outro. These changes have made the duration of the video longer than expected.
