Overcoming Adversity Again

.Since we had a scene in which we wanted the protagonist to run through a graveyard and pick flowers off of a grave. We had planned taking a wide shot of an actual graveyard to give context to the scene, then switch to much shorter shot sizes as the protagonist picked up flowers off of a makeshift grave we would dig out ourselves. Since we obviously knew we wouldn't get permission to film on an actual grave and we didnt feel comfortable doing that anyway, we just wanted to film one quick wide shot of a graveyard for context in the film.


However, unfortunately upon attempting to get permission we were kindly rejected by the caretakers of the cemetery. This was understandable since we were asking for a lot just for some unprofessional teenagers that wanted to film it. So we've come to the conclusion to scrap the whole "graveyard" scene and just think of another comedic way in which the protagonist will get his flowers. 


To try and make up for the loss of this scene we have thought up a new plan to keep the comedy going. So as the protagonist runs towards his dates house he notices a bike parked against a tree by itself with no lock, and him being in a chaotic rush he will look for an owner and as he doesnt see one nearby he gets on the bike and makes an escape. Then as hes riding another person will be walking along who will also be going on a date. (this will be signified from his semi formal attire and flowers in his hand). The protagonist notices this and realizes he needs flowers too but doesnt have any time to get them. He sees the person is on the phone and uses the opportunity to whizz past and snatch them out of his hand and make a swift escape. While we both are regretful we cant film the graveyard scene this will hopefully make up for the most anticipated part we wanted to film without lacking in the comedic value it had.
