So today we dealt with something unexpected, to say the least. Today in class Hannah walked in and she had dyed her hair from purple to red. At first I did not piece together what this meant for our project till Hannah told me. She had this realization after washing out her impromptu hair dye, we had not finished filming and now her character's hair color would have changed suddenly from one scene to another. We started to brainstorm, we talked about putting her in a hat but that would not match up with the scenes we already had filmed, we tossed around the idea of trying to fix it in post but we are not confident in our abilities to make that look professional, we even brought up a wig or using hair chalk but quickly decided against it as it would not look the same. After all of this Hannah came up with an idea that might just work, we wrote in an explanation. We decided to instead of cutting straight to the empty mall we would cut to the mall bathroom and have a scene where Hannah's character dyes her. We decided to go with this as it would make the most sense continuity-wise since our opening takes place in one day and it would add a bit of humor to it, it's almost absurd to dye your hair in a mall bathroom. It also plays into the rebellious teenager stereotype that we are trying to convey through Harper, she is someone who makes rash decisions and rarely thinks before she acts. I also started to edit a bit of the opening with some of the opening credits. I also wanted to post some photos of Hannah's hair color to show how trying to redye it in a short time would not match how it used to be.
