During the last couple of weeks, we went through a process of changing and rechanging our film opening in terms of the story, script and shots.
The storyboard above was made by Nora and shows our final storyline. Our main idea was to kind of switch between the scenes during the two minutes of film opening: The first sequence shows Nora putting her make-up on (1), we then have the scene in which she drops her diary by bumping into Andre (2), and we then switch back to where Nora gets ready (3).
(We replaced the idea of Nora losing her diary on the bus with the idea of her dropping it by running in Andre because we considered filming on the bus as too difficult.)
In sequence 4 we can see Andre in the library despairing of the diary that he struggles to translate (4), followed by another sequence of Nora in the bathroom (5).
Sequence 6 shows Andre leaving school after everyone else has already gone (he forgot the time over translating the diary)(6); we then see the final bathroom sequence in which Nora kisses the mirror (7) and the title "Lost & Found" appears next to her lip print (8).
We had a discussion about the title of the film at pretty much the end of our filming process and finally came up with "Lost & Found". We thought that the title might fit quite well because the main character not only "lost" her diary, she also "found" a friend or maybe even a boyfriend by losing it.
