(I’ll post my homework of Day 4 when the proper discussion will be open.)
Insights/ Breakthrough: All characters can experience a climax in a movie and it actually makes each of them more interesting. It spices up the story.
In my script, I found a scene where my main character discovers what a classmate does. In a later scene, that classmate’s speech and behaviour shows that she reached the point of no return and is full of inner conflicts but she feels she had no other choice. She threatens the main character if she says anything. The choice that the classmate made is very interesting for the main character because she then asks herself what she would have done if she were in her shoes.

What I learned rewriting my character is that he needs to explain himself through his actions and some dialog of self-professing power (although seems encrypted by the main character), which triggers events to leading to the ending. I have to figure out how to keep empathy for the main character and not have a simple straight dot-to-dot ending that the audience can figure out.

RE MEET THE PARENTS and putting characters in uncomfortable situations, I’ve learned I can amp that up in various scenes. It not only contributes to creating empathy for my two protags, but also makes my RomCom more funny.
