Lesson 9

[Madeleine Vessel]

MADELEINE’S ROMANCE EMOTIONS PART 2

“What I learned doing this assignment is… This pass added more to my script outline, but it also was repetitive in some places. Interesting.”

BETRAYAL:

The beginning of Act 1, Phil betrays David because of his gambling addiction. To pay off his debts, he empties the business bank account and sells everything in the business except David’s laptop and a handful of bills needing paid. He has essentially ruined David.

Later, in Act 1, Thea feels betrayed by her father who welcomes David into his home and hires him to help him do assessment work for board and room. This is after she warns her father about David’s shady behavior and refusal to properly identify himself. This is after she is given up her professional life to do the job David’s been hired to do.

In Act 3, David promises to call Thea, but she waits and waits, and he never does.

ANGER:

David is angry after Phil betrays him. He calls Phil and leaves a short and to the point voice message that underlines his fury.
David gets angry when his car breaks down in the middle of nowhere in Nevada. He gets angrier when he gets scalded and covered with coolant when he tries to loosen the radiator cap,
Thea gets angry at Dora’s Doll House when David kisses her hands. Pulling away her hands, she angrily states. “I’m not a whore!”

PASSION:

David kisses Thea on the hood of her Jeep after finding common ground under the stars. She kisses David back. Then suddenly David checks himself and calls it all a mistake.
Seeing David’s response, Thea agrees the kiss was a mistake.

OBSESSION:

After he gets back from spending the night with Thea, David can’t stop thinking about her. He steals glances at her, draws pictures of her.

While waiting for David to call, Thea calls to mind every little tender moment they experienced together. Over and over again.

LOVE:
The last scene of the script shows David and Thea together on the deck of a sailing boat on a clear night, looking up at the stars. They hold hands. They kiss.

Gayle’s Romance Emotions Part 2
What I learned doing this lesson is I need more time to focus and concentrate on what the underlying story is – what is the inner journey of each character?

Betrayal – At the Midpoint: Casey sees Huck is trying to steal her satchel and he confesses his part in the theft of the artifact and he is only with her to get it back.

Anger – Casey is angry about the betrayal and decides to walk away from the whole predicament by seeking help and reporting it all to Interpol.

Passion – At the end of Act 2: After realizing the Interpol agent is one of the thieves, Casey sees how Huck was trying to protect her and goes to find him. They declare their attraction with a night a romance in Vienna.

Obsession – Through Act 2: Huck is obsessed with finding the artifact and will do anything to locate it, including betraying his partners and lying to Casey with whom he is falling in love.

Love – In Act 3: Casey leaves her fiancé and risks her life to help Huck find the real artifact. They are captured and locked in a tomb where they vow to either escape together or die together.

Eugene’s Romance Emotions Part 2

What I learned doing this assignment is that some of the Emotions from Part 1, overlap and result in the stronger emotions in Part 2.

Betrayal
Joe records a very personal discussion with Beth.

Anger
When Beth finds out that Joe recorded their very personal conversation she is incensed and leaves telling Joe, she no longer can work on the film project together.
Voice and Karen exchange barbs back and forth for scene after scene and situation after situation.
Voice overreacts when the police try to evict them from the small lot across the street from the new home development and has a stroke.

Passion
Joe reveals his passion for Beth, and she puts it on the back burner, informing Joe she is only interested in a positive conclusion to the film project.
Voice and Karen after exhausting every slam of each other realize when Voice has a stroke that they really care about each other.

Obsession
Joe continues to try to win Beth’s affection, despite her determination to keep their relationship merely business.

Love
After the foursome, Joe, Beth, Voice and Karen, is held up together in the unfinished basement of tiny home, to weather the tornado, they express their deep caring and love for each other.
