yet another problem

Bad news again. The tape has been damaged in some way (only half the width of the shots can be seen) at the end, rendering some of our footage useless. The footage that has been damaged was supposed to make up the closure of the narrative, with the couple arguing as they drive out of town and with high-angle shots from above showing the car pulling up sharply, the male dragging the girl out of the driver's seat and slamming her against the bonnet. He then throws her to the floor, with the last shots taken from various angles around them as we attempted to show all 360 degrees around them for effect. The tape seems fine up to the part where they are arguing in the car, so we have decided to use what we have there and film an alternative ending. We've been really lucky in that it has snowed again just when we needed it to, so we shouldn't have a problem with consistency in the narrative. We don't have much time and we need to shoot the entire ending in a day so we're going to film in and around college in the hope that college isn't too recognizable in the video.
