What's your Dramatic Moment

A teenager boy, John, likes this girl, Nicole, and has liked her since they were in middle school and they are now in the 11th grade. He and she are just friends and he always tries to get her attention but she does not because she has a boyfriend. He one day gets the nerve up to talk to her when her boyfriend comes up and threatens him not to talk to his girlfriend, so he just walks away. One day they get into a big fight and John decides to try to cheer her up; he does and she asks if he would like to hang out with her after school and he accepts. While they are hanging out she starts to realize he has always been there for her and feels like she is falling for him. While walking home she leans in to kiss him and he gets all happy and excited when the sprinklers in the park turn on and get him wet. Then once they are at her doorstep she leans into to kiss him again when her boyfriend pulls up into the driveway and she sees him and runs over to her boyfriend and he is there left alone again. The things that will emphasize their dramatic moment are sweat running down his face, the girl leaning into him and holding his hand, close up on their faces and dim lighting.

Plots that Kill

One film that used the coming of age plot idea to develop their film was The Guardian. In the film, the character tried to act like he was the best guardian out in his field because he beat all the records. He and his instructor did not get along until the instructor had to go in an save him. The instructor gave up his life for him and that is when he realized what guardians' jobs are. Another film that has used this idea to develop their film was Avatar. The main character did not have any intensions of helping the avatars before he went to their world but once he lived what they live, he realized that is where he belongs and tries to help them save their world.

A potential story that can be developed like this film is about a young man that looks down at a homeless man. The homeless man use to be on top of the world until his son was diagnosed with cancer; the man spent all his money for operations to cure his son's cancer but none of it worked; he tried everything he could until he went broke and a few days later his son died. The boy does not know anything about this man's life until he is faced with his dad getting stabbed and the homeless man helps them and that's when the young man realizes his job is to help this homeless man because he did not do anything wrong to the society all he wanted to do was save his son's life. By using this story I am being unique because the characters did not have any connections before the homeless man helps the young man's dad.
