Have you heard about “The Little
mermaid”? It’s one of our favorite
Disney movies; this is why we decided to record it for this class work.
Although we based our script on this movie, we’re going to make some changes. We
want to give the little mermaid a new sense but keeping some parts. First, we
are going to change some characters and add new ones, to make a little twist on
the story, also delete some parts, and add new ones in order to the new
characters have their own moment on the script. Nevertheless, we are going to
keep the songs, because we think they are an important part of the story. With
these changes we want to make a new and fresh little mermaid keeping its
essence.
The first thing to
change is making Flounder a female, we will call her Flo. We decided to change
Flounder to Flo, because we want to make the relationship between Flounder and
Ariel more like nowadays relationships between best girlfriends that share
everything like dreams and hopes and can trust and rely on each other. Also we
are going to add a Queen, because in the original script there is no mother
that expresses an opinion about Ariel about falling in love with a human, by
adding a mom to the story we want to make it more real, with more opinions
about loving someone that is quite different from you, we want the Queen to
support Ariel in her relationship with Erick. Also, we are going to add a crab
girlfriend for Sebastian, her name is going to be Carol, who loves to sing just
as much as Sebastian does, that is our new version of the little mermaid, both
Carol and Sebastian are going to sing duets, to give a female voice to the song
and make it more romantic. With these changes the story will have a new stroke.
Besides the changes
with the characters, we are going to change the script as well to have a more
interesting and fresh story. In the actual script there are some parts we found
are kind of irrelevant, so we decide to eliminate those parts and add new ones,
with our new characters. For example, we decides to eliminate the scene where
Flounder (in our case Flo) and Ariel are on the ship, we are not going to include
the shark; also, we are going to delete the part where King Triton destroys the
statue of Erick, we think this part with the new character is going to be
strong for the new concept of the little mermaid. Finally, the part
where Ariel follows the eels to get to Ursula’s is not going to be
happening, instead, Ariel is going to run away from the sea castle to see
Ursula to ask for help, since she knows, Ursula is capable of making dreams
come true. Besides we are going to modify some parts when Ariel arrives to the
castle but we definitely are going to keep the final adding a new small part
were the Queen, approves Ariel relationship, and allows her to leave with
Erick.
Regarding to the songs,
we are going to keep them all, because each one express exactly the feeling of
the characters on the scene, we found it unnecessary to delete them but, we are
going to make the songs shorter in order to respect the time limit established,
we are going to sing as a group just the first part of them all, by singing all
the people of the group, we want to give more intensity to the songs, with each
person’s voice, we want to make the songs more real and with more feeling than
the original ones. Most people don´t like to sing but we strongly believe that
the junction of the voices are going to make the songs sound really nice, and give
to the little mermaid a more real feeling real.
We want to record the
little mermaid for being an imaginative and lovely story. With the changes in
the characters and the script and the singing, we hope the story gets a new
way, but we want to keep the original idea of the little mermaid. We have major
changes but nothing destroys the original idea of this cute love story. We
strongly believe this project is going to be really interesting because it will
challenge us to make things that we wouldn’t have done before and we’ll learn
to overcome predicaments in our life.
