Today, I started brainstorming for my screenplay. I've abandon it for a little while, and I really am set on having this filmed and done by the end of the year. I need to do serious re-writes, but I have no idea how to start it. I have plot points I still want to use, which include
-Back to school
-Journal
-Funeral
-"Drunk"
-Flashbacks
The things I know I have to take out are:
-Opening
-Teacher
-Locker cleaning
I have decided to cut the teacher character out, as long as the small friend rolls. They don't serve much of purpose. I may even cut the mother out. I realized I want to focus on the best friend's point of view, and how he handle's the bullies after it happens. I want to use the fact that the bullies feel bad as a plot point. I was even thinking about having Dani still be alive, and that the suicide didn't go through.
Reflection: I think I deserve a 100 for this post. This was the first time I really sat down and thought about the things I have to do to change the screenplay. Obviously I have to do much more research, because I lacked that during the first write.
