Last-Minute Changes

With the time remaining, we were persuaded to make some more radical changes. What we did was cut some shots of no real significance and reduce the amount of narration. For example, we took away the line "my phone rang" as it seemed just slightly too ridiculous/obvious, even considering the slightly satirical mood of the piece.

We also used some footage of the gate being opened where Mike opens it normally instead of breaking in, and therefore removed the line about a "Gladsmith one-way lock". After rearranging some of the narration we had left, the last thing we did was add a small note at the end: 'Five days earlier'. We feel this helps to establish the feeling of an opening better. The second half was the most drastically altered, with the phone conversation cut much shorter.
