Andrea’s Challenging Situations
Scene 1:
A. Current Logline: K is not enjoying her own engagement party.
B. Essence: She’s about to marry the perfect guy, why doesn’t she feel happy.
C. Possible Challenges Brainstorm
— the shallowness of his family surfaces
— the intrusion of other’s values on her and her future life becomes clear
— she sees who she could become as she looks at her soon to be brother-in-laws wife
— someone from her past shows up
D. Summary of Proposed Changes
— In the original, the bride-to-be is sulky and unhappy. In the new version, she will confront the choices she’s making as she begins to recognize that her own future is playing out in a way that will make her miserable—especially as she interacts with her soon-to-be in-laws. The arrival of someone from her past will reignite her independent spirit.
Scene 2:
A. Current Logline: J arrives at a friends house for an engagement party.
B. Essence: J realizes that the bride is the first (and only) love.
C. Possible Challenges Brainstorm
— J went away to prove himself, and he’s returned successful, but is it too late
— J reconnects with an old friend, not realizing he’s marrying the girl he loves.
— J begins to suspect the groom has other motives for getting married
— J signals to the bride-to-be that he has never stopped loving her.
D. Summary of Proposed Changes
— In the original the connection between the groom’s fiancé and J’s past is a weird coincidence. In the new version it will still be a coincidence, but his arrival will reveal things that the bride does not know and could greatly impact her future happiness. J must decide how and when and even if he should act.
