Scene development


Scene development  


 In this blog post I want to dive into the development of our scenes!

  

Scene 1: Town Center – The Calm Before the Storm (opening scene) 

  

A golden light scheme that completes the town center with its warm hues lightens the place. Slightly busy foot traffic of people conducting their daily diligence's. Two teen students walk next to each other as their footsteps carried through the refreshing day air. Sounds like birds chirping can be heard, footsteps, and the clear dialogue of two teenagers can be heard. 

  

Since childhood, Alessandra and Davis have both looked forward to this day. The response from the University of Miami has remained their goal for as long as they can remember. They regarded the school admission process not just as their future dream but worked their entire life around it constantly having dedicated studying sessions. 

  

Davis spoke in a mixed voice of excitement and nervousness as he shared his disbelief that the day would soon arrive. He made a movement with hands to minimize the shaking sensation due to nervousness. We have been waiting for this moment forever as far as we are concerned. 

  

Alessandra looked at him and her eyes showed both enthusiasm and a ton of unsettled emotions. “I know. Fast forward to this moment where it seems unreal to us both since we started dreaming about admission only to find ourselves one day before receiving our admissions letter.   

 

Both of us spent endless time dedicating ourselves to achieving this. According to him their chances of secure admission were a yes or yes. Davis’s hopeful voice helped slightly but his eyes gave away a slight moment of hesitation. 

  

“Of course. We have done everything we could. Alessandra spoke with determination but inside she felt the unknown fear about their acceptance decision. Tomorrow would change everything. For better or worse. 

  

   

Scene 2: David’s Room – The Decision 

  

Both characters faced a long evening while anticipating the big moment that would finally come. The admission decision letters arrived through email announcing a change in the application. That night, the news was dying to reveal the life-changing answer about whether they would be accepted.  

They both sat on the bed with their laptops as they waited for the anticipating news. Her heart raced in her chest. From this position beside her on the bed Davis tried to calm his nerves by stroking his hair with his hands.  

Calmly Alessandra spoke those words to hide her shaky tone. The moment has arrived for us to read the admissions letters at the same time Let us do it side by side.”  

Davis gave a nod to the letter while showing signs of deep anticipation through his pale complexion. “Yeah, together.” 

Alessandra made her decision where she kept her breath locked and revealed the letter. Her eyes scanned the words. Then, a wide smile spread across her face. 

As she looked over, she could tell by David's facial expression that he had not entered. She quickly logged off the page before he could notice and made it look as if she hadn't received her decision.  

The chills ran through her body, and she tried making Davis feel better. She also told him, that she had not received her decision and that something was wrong with her computer. With complete sadness in Davis face he stated that he was going to go tell his parents. Alessandra nodded her head and as he left the room her face flooded with guilt.
