Changes

Plot- We changed the plot the most; this was mainly due to the fact that we had no place to film the end scene which was in the shop. So we decided to change the end and make the main character see the tramp again after being fired and realising that the greed that he showed before was wrong and that that he could end up in the position were the tramp is. This change to plot changed the whole meaning of the film and we needed to think up a new morale to be story because originally it was about there being more than money and now it is the link between all of use.

Character- The main character took a massive change from the original John to the one that is in the film. Originally we wanted him to be someone that had money and was a family man that was kind hearted and was a victim to the recession, but when we thought about it we didn’t feel that the message of what we felt towards the bankers was strong enough so we changed the character of John to a person that was greedy and wasn’t interested in helping others, this we thought was the best suit when it came to the audiences idea of business people at the time. The Boss was another character that we played around with as a character before we settled. We initially wanted him to be someone with a lot of power and respect and were very focused on figures and getting the job done this we felt fit the convention of a big boss perfect. However we felt we could challenge this convention by making the boss lazy and uninterested in work. We wanted to show the incompetence of the bankers and the people that got the country in the mess it’s in and where the ones paying for it.
