change of plans?

in the earlier stages of development I wanted to end the opening in a doctors surgery, showing how frustrated the character is with these dreams he had been having, from here the storyline would have progressed into the full film ,and I would have gone into detail with the doctor about the sorts of dreams I had been having for the past week, allowing progression into the storyline and the audience to learn more about the character and his background. the doctors would have analysed me and prescribed medication for the bad dreams that I had been having, which obviously would have had no affect. The doctor would have thought I wasn't a very serious case and that it was probably due to something I ate, this emphasises the helplessness and ignorance that people have for  This is also a common theme in psychological thrillers/horrors as it emphasises the helplessness and ignorance that people have in horror and psychological thrillers for greater, unknown forces. This is used in the psychological horror thriller film, the babadook, when the mum goes to the police to report the strange goings on in the house, but they end up thinking she is crazy, driving her more into insanity, and creating more pity from the audience.

The reason why I didn't end the opening in a doctors surgery is fairly obvious, I couldn't just turn up in a busy waiting room with a person filming me, proving this environment unsuitable.

Apart from this, there were very few changes of plan, because I had storyboarded it and pretty much kept to it. I did add one more scene of me walking through the woods, after the long shot of me walking away from the camera, partly because I wanted to stretch the length out to be closer to 2 minutes, but also because wanted it meant extra time to build the tension, using the chimes of the music to indicate something bad was going to happen.
