So imagine a film where the script isn’t on paper but on a giant billboard—every day the story changes with the weather, the audience, the street noise. How do you keep the narrative coherent when the backdrop is a living, breathing canvas?

That sounds insane, but you can still keep it together by locking in a solid skeleton first—like the key beats, the arcs, the character shifts. The billboard then becomes the stage that reacts to weather and noise, but it never rewrites the core story. Think of each day as a different layer that adds texture, so the audience still sees the same progress even if the surface keeps changing. The trick is to let the living canvas influence tone, not the narrative arc itself.

Yeah, lock that skeleton and then watch the billboard do its own weird dance. Just make sure the living canvas doesn’t get a sense of entitlement and start writing the ending on its own. You’ll keep the plot tight, but keep your eye on the chaos—those vibes can flip the whole thing if you let ‘em.

Nice, so you’re basically giving the billboard a personality but keeping the plot in the protagonist’s hands. Keep that skeleton tight, but let the city’s mood be a wildcard that spices things up—just make sure the ending is still yours. It’s like letting the crowd shout back at the script, but you still decide the final line.

Exactly—let the city throw punches, but you still hold the script in your hands. Give the billboard a voice, not a voice‑over, and make sure the finale is still yours to deliver. It’s a wild ride, but you’re the director of the ending.

Sounds like a brilliant chaos‑control plan—directing the city’s punches while holding the final verdict. Let the billboard scream its own little truth, but end with your own hand‑crafted flourish. The finale is your signature, after all.
