Revision/Research

We will be changing the script also. In the first draft of the film, the female lead read the letter for the voiceover like it was an inner voice. This time we will have the male lead read the letter to the female lead.

Original:

      Elena: "So what do you mean you don't remember me?"

Ryder: "I don't exactly remember what happened but i remember writing this letter."

Elena: 
         "Dear Elena, About a year ago when I left for the army, I was so upset to have to leave my best friend behind. I couldn't stop thinking about you and all of our memories together.  One day in combat we were unexpectedly attacked and I got hurt causing severe injuries to my head and brain causing our memories to slowly fade away. I still have enough memories of you to remember how much you mean to me but I know they will soon be gone. I just want you to know I'm sorry. Help me remember. Love, Ryder"


Revision:
   
     Ryder:
          "Dear Elena, I wish I could tell you everything is fine but I can't lie to you. I'm being sent home next week. A few weeks ago when we were stationed along the coast, a bullet hit the side of my helmet causing severe head trauma. At first it only seemed to be a concussion until I started noticing gaps in my memory and then realizing... realizing they were slipping away from me. For now I still remember us and our life together but it could be a matter of time before ... before it's all gone. I don't want to forget us. Please. I'm so scared. Help me remember. I'll be home soon. Love, Ryder."

      Elena:
            "I promise I'll never let you forget."

Revision/Research

My group has decided to revise our film in the way of changing the lead actors and also changing the main idea. Originally, the film was supposed to be two people that are in a relationship and are possibly engaged. We ended up shooting it as a friendship because it was a last minute filming and the male lead and the female lead were too close to be that comfortable with each other. We have changed the male lead to Shawn Cacciola and the female lead to Miranda Marino. The female lead and the male lead are able to connect easier and hopefully will connect on camera to create the idea we wish to portray. But other than that, hopefully there will be more chemistry on camera and we will be able to portray what we originally wanted.
