Scene development

Today we are coming up with our plot outline, there are 5 main events that create a story:

1.Exposition: This is where we introduce our characters and the setting

2.Rising action:This is where we add tension and the build up of the story

3.Climax:Tension is at its highest peak and the most is going on

4.Falling action: The conflict starts to simmer down and close

5.Ending:The story ends

For reference:

Our exposition:

For our exposition we plan to start the scene messy. Fast tracking shots mixed with POV shots of Serena running around her room, grabbing different items while also throwing her comforter off the bed, putting picture frames on the floor and making a mess of her room.

Starting the scene off like this will create suspense and have viewers confused as to what is going on, what she's doing, etc.

Rising Action:

Luchy and Javier come home and start making dinner so we now cut to parallel editing of the parents cooking dinner at the same time Serena is planning her escape.

This will symbolize how clueless her parents are about her true feelings while they are downstairs preparing a dinner, seeming to be a perfect family while their daughter is upstairs 

Climax:

We faintly hear Serena's mom, Luchy calling Serena to come downstairs. We hear it again which is also when Serena hears it. She stops and stares at the door unaware what to do

Falling action:

Shots of the stairs, Point of view shots of Serena's mom walking up and walking to the door. 

This will be used create even more suspense as to if Serena will get out in time.

While walking upstairs it will cut to shots of Serena looking at her room one last time and climbing out the window.

End:

The final shots will be off her parents finally opening the door with a full shot of the room set up. Serena will be gone.
