Revised Story (Cinderella)

As pointed out in class Tuesday, I realized that it would be better to just focus on one character. I decided that Cinderella would be the best since her relationship with the mice is the focus of the original. In this one she still lives in a trailer and she's still a slob but she lives alone. The scene opens with her looking through her closet. As she looks around her room in confusion she notices a mouse with the hat she's been looking for. The both scare each other and the mouse runs away into the kitchen. Cinderella follows it because she doesn't want it to get away without exterminating it. She runs into her nasty, mold infested kitchen to discover that her old mice friends are everywhere. The scenes switch to rendered disgusting views as what Cinderella sees. Even though they look disgusting they are actually trying to help her by cleaning her dishes and trash for her. She chooses to overlook this and reach into the cupboard for the rat poison. She mice notice this and come up to her bearing her glass slippers. She changes her mind as she realizes what they're trying to restore with her. Again the view black mask- focuses on one mouse in the bottom left corner and scales out again to reveal the tea party. Only Cinderella and the mice are at this party. Again a mouse tries to offer her sugar but all she sees is a nasty rodent but tries to ignore it and uncomfortably accept the sugar anyway. It ends on the silhouette of the tea party.

I want this video to really focus on her relationship with her past and her past friends. I want to illustrate how when people get older and reality sets in that they tend to treat their childhood friends differently; they see it for not perfect but for the flaws that they failed to notice. But in order to deal with one's past and see the joys of childhood mixed with the maturity of adulthood you have to put the flaws aside to enjoy a person/situation for what they (it) are/is.
