Story Elements

Character

1. My character arc would be a tragic one, where the protagonist starts out as a good, hard-working student but ends up as a junkie due to alcohol and drug addictions.

2. I will apply the Peeling the Onion by showing the protagonist slowly falling into the addiction of drugs and alcohol. The protagonist will slowly become a totally different person.

3. The main character will earn Universal Empathy due to the facts that, he is a hard working student who is just looking for an escape from his boring school life, and that he will struggle so much to get his life straight after his addictions. These will earn many empathies from the audience and help them connect to the main character.

4. The Protagonist will be a dynamic character, because his personality and characteristics will change dramatically due to the addictions. 

5. The Antagonist will be a static character, because she will constantly have the mysterious aura and personality. She will stay mysterious and dangerous throughout the film.

6. The minor characters will be flat, because they will be the same friends of the Protagonist who will continue living their lives without any changes.

Conflict

1. The main tension will be the Protagonist's struggle to stay away from the mysterious girl, the Antagonist. The Protagonist enjoys spending time with the mysterious girl, but his friends are telling him to stay away from her, because she is a bad influence. The Protagonist will struggle to choose between his old, boring life or the new excitement and thrill he has been searching for. 

2. For the Character Lock, the Protagonist will change internally, giving in to to the addictions of drugs and alcohol. However, that poor choice will leave his life in ruins, forcing him to try to change once again, to set his life straight.

3. The Forced Action will occur when the Protagonist realizes that there was no mysterious girl to start with, that he was an addict to drugs and alcohols. The Protagonist must accept the terrible reality and get help.

4. The high stake for the Protagonist will be continuing to meet the mysterious girl, because that means he will give up his old life as a hard working student and search for the new thrill in life. 

Plants and Payoffs

1. I will plant the information that the mysterious girl is a bad influence that will drive the Protagonist into struggles and pain. The Protagonist will be obsessed with the girl, and he will even skip school to spend more time with the girl. These menacing actions will hint to the audience that the mysterious girl is the Antagonist.

2. The film's throughline, or the main idea, will be that the Protagonist will slowly fall victim to the mysterious girl, and his life begins to fall apart. 

Plot

1. The catalyst of the film will be when the Protagonist gets invited to a party where obviously the bad things will happen. At this party, the Protagonist will meet the mysterious girl, and become obsessed with her.

2. The biggest conflict will be the Protagonist's struggle to choose between continue his old, boring cycle as a good student or continue his meeting with the mysterious girl, whom everyone calls it a bad influence.
