Plotting Our Plot... Get It?
Ana and I have done back and forth about a plot or storyline but we couldn't seem to agree completely on one until we pulled the inspiration films in my previous post. After researching The Notebook and Only, we decided on a plot; Daniela and Michael are both students of an NYC public high school. Daniela, 16, and Michael, 17, fell in love shortly after laying eyes on each other at a school football game. A viral pandemic spreads throughout the globe causing their lives to change forever. Michael and Daniela now lose the one common place where they would see each other. Their relationship must grow under harsh quarantine conditions.
Michael does come from an upperclass family who wanted him to go to a private school in New York. However, Michael refused to be seen like a preppy Manhattan snob. He grew up with middle class teammates in his lacrosse team and constantly got made fun of for being the "brat" of the team in Missouri. But now he's in New York and this meant a new version of himself. The version he has always wanted to be.
Daniela is from Colombia. Unlike Michael, she grew up living a humble life yet always desired more. She would always tell her father how she dreamed of working hard for a big house in the States where she would raise her family and throw family gatherings with music and food. She dreamed of this house being a safe place, in contrary to the dangers she faced everyday in Colombia. This house would have so many rooms and bathrooms for family memebers to stay in. As she told her father these dreams she had, he always stared deeply into her eyes in admiration of her caring heart.
