My lectures still thought that the story was not clear enough and gave me some feedback which I have used to create two more blockouts. I tried cutting down the opening sequence and rocky mound section placing less emphasis on that part of the film. I also rearranged the goats reactions and improved and added in new sequences. This has made the story clearer and reduced the overall length by 22 sec, so it is now 1min 8.
I also experimented by changing the boys reaction when he first sees the goat. Rather than ride around in a circle, I had him do an excited bounce and then gallop straight towards the edge of the rock.I think the first reaction shows the boys intentions clearer.
