FICTIONAL ADAPTATION: CHANGE OF CHARACTER & SCRIPT V2

After reviewing the script, I felt that the Mother character just didn't work. If the Mother had lost one of her daughters she wouldn't get over it as quickly as I've made out. Also, if the Mother was in this situation, I would assume that she would actually be getting closer to her daughter Becky. So, I decided to change this character.

Ribbons Script V2

I changed the character to the friend of 'Chelsea'. Although this means that I now have to find a new actor, I felt this would work better, if a friend who has lost someone is there, she could help more and it would work better as a Mother wouldn't get over the expereince. Ever. 

I say this having spoken to 3 Mothers who have lost children, all of different ages and they are still upset about it. It's an unbearable pain that you can't get rid of and I didn't feel the script worked once I had learnt this. 

I got the friend to come in earlier when the Mother was meant to wake up Becky to establish the character. Then later she comes in and helps Becky to see things in a different light. I feel this works better for the script. I had to change actors so I contacted my friend Chelsea and asked her to come onboard and she was happy once she read the script. Chelsea has helped with a few UCA Productions and is a confident girl overall. She's happy in front of camera and she's got a kind and caring personality.
