The Knife - Saturday 11:30am - Optional ending



Sophia took this video after she'd finished her role as prefect, do you notice that what Greg and I are talking about is totally irrelevant to the whole thing? - but it looks like we are talking about something very important, haha its all about perception on camera ay?



We still had enough time to do the optional ending scene. I had discussed with Greg last night that we didn't need to do this scene if we ran out of time, instead we could just end when the board of trustees had reached their decision, but we both agreed that it wrapped the whole story up neatly, and it was a bit entertaining too. Max, the shortland street scriptwriter had suggested I cut it out as it was unnecessary and I'd already gone over time, Sophia had said that it was cheesey, but I wanted to keep it in because I thought it added a new perspective on the story - that things aren't always the way they seem. The rest of the content was going to be quite dry - a board meeting, and a family talk - so I thought it would be good to add something a bit lighter and entertaining to the mix. It would be good to have at the end of Harvena's module as a "reward" for the youth worker once they'd finished that module. So we shot it and had lots of fun doing it, after Bradley and Max leave, Tasi brings out nana's cookie and eats it (this is after he'd just said that he doesn't get nana's baking anymore). We went through lots of cookies, and had fun trying to get Bradley to burp on cue!
