Planning - changes to orginal character ideas

Originally we had discussed possible characters; a mother, child, grandmother and detective as the main characters that would be featured. We had discussed casting and originally planned to seek a women in her late 20's/early 30's to play the mother, however we later came up with a new twist to include due to casting issues.

As casting issues became apparent for the casting of a female adult for the mother we decided to change her age and make her an 18 year old mother - by doing this we created a new angle for our trailer that focuses on the fact that she is very young and perhaps irresponsible. From this we were going to have the grandmother character displaying her thoughts and disapproval of having a baby too young, however we now decided to add in numerous voice over's from unknown characters saying "we all told you not to have a baby that young" etc. By doing this it adds extra layers that build on the disapproval and struggles the main character has.
