Story-Telling Unit: Last Minute Script Revision (Film Day 2 Morning)

Today is the second day of filming my short film. Unfortunately, the weather has changed since yesterdays shoot, and in the interest of keeping continuity in my short film, I have decided to change one of my scripted scenes from an outside shoot to an indoor shoot.
This shouldn't affect my film in any way aside from the change of scenery, and should in fact benefit my film for this reason:
In my original script, two scenes takes place at the pier at different times of day, but right after each other. The problem with this is that it would have been quite confusing for the viewer, since they would assume it was simply a continuity error, as the same characters would be involved, speaking about the same subject, but at a different time of day, and it also may have become boring to see the same scenery repeated over the space of several minutes.
I think the benefits of this change to the script I have made is that I can now film this particular scene at any time of day due to it taking place indoors, and also it should be more interesting for the viewer to see 2 shorter scenes that take place in different areas, as opposed to having to watch one long continuous scene in one area.
