If it were my film/my treatment:
Scene 1: HIWAGA
Sequence 1:
(dream sequence) (partial foreshadowing of ending)
Mysterious child with a candle running in the crowd, being chased by a woman (let’s say she is
also Lorna.).
Scene ends, as a dream, woman awakened from sleep.
(as transition to Sequence 2)
Sequence 2: A fellow candle vendor knocking on the woman;’s room door.
Brief dialogue: Ani bay an, tanghali na, kung kelan pa naman tayo magbebenta sa pista ni Inang
Cande.
Lorna rises, fixes her things for candle selling, anxious and bothered of the dream,
dumbfounded (tulala)
Scene 3: HUBOG
(flashback)
Sequence 1:
Lorna doing her candles/candle making; all the struggles (napapaso, etc.).
Sequence 2:
If afford of budget, scenes of actual struggles)
Pag ka dalagang ina, singil upa sa bahay, di na magka anak, etc.
Interspersed sequence 1 and 2 as editing treatment.
Scene ends, same fellow candle vendor yelling at Lorna, hoy, ano na, tara na!
Scene 3: HUGIS
Lorna sells at the patio of church.
This may show her kind attitude to fellow workers, to candle buyers, then finally to a child
(same from scene 1) showing up, liking her candle, grabs it, then runs for playful/game time
(back to chasing sequence from scene 1)
Then she gets swarmed by candle buyers.
Looks up. Sees the façade of the Church.
(black out) (End credits)
Note: No pressure. Pag-usapan. Good luck!
