Hi Cambridge! In my AICE media class today, I sat down with my group, (Arianna, Cande, and Emma) and pondered about our plot. We know 100% that we want to do a sports drama related to gymnastics. It was rather difficult to figure out the plot however since we really want to hook the audience in, and not make it boring. Since we know the genre I can tell you guys about the plot!
With this in mind, we plan to show a gymnast, with an ongoing knee injury who trains regardless of this. She does not have anything else in her mind besides gymnastics, she even has a great amount of apathy for school. We will emphasize her compassion for gymnastics through her room decor and her strength to train even with her injury. The countless medals and posters of star gymnastics, the rough hands from continuous training on bars, and many other elements will aid in portraying her character. Her overprotective mother and strict coach want her to stay off her injured knee and simply relax. However, the gymnast's ambition for gymnastics does not allow her to so she constantly is training. The real turning will be a big competition coming up which she constantly practices for (secretly) and she signs up behind her mom's and coach's backs. The plot will leave the audience wondering if she will get away with applying to the competition and if she will succeed, despite her injured knee. I feel like with this plot, I will have great opportunities to develop character and engage my audience with my film!
The plot illustrates the gymnast's internal battles, which is the main idea of this plot. Many gymnasts have internal battles every day, so we want to make the main character as relatable as possible. I recently watched some gymnastic films and I was inspired by these two.
