Blog #12: Scene Reflection


For this scene, the main character Gabriela is late for class. She rushes in and her teacher is definitely unhappy with her. Gabriela acts as snarky as ever and takes her seat without a care in the world. Her friend, Logan, wants to know the real reason why she is late. They end up in a tiny argument and Gabriela storms out of the room at the end of the scene.

            I believe that the better part of this scene was the characterization of Gabriela through dialogue. It’s easy to see Gabriela’s personality by the way she speaks to her teacher, Mrs. Nelson, and Logan. Another thing that makes this scene more appealing is just Gabriela’s strong character. As the protagonist, she is tough and doesn’t back down. Another strength in the scene was how we transitioned into Gabriela’s dream sequence. It changed up the mood of the scene smoothly and was important to the development of the story.

            The weak part of this scene would be Logan’s characterization. I think that we didn’t show his personality well enough in the dialogue and it made him seem like a flat 2-dimensional character rather than a 3-dimensional one. I also think that we could have had more description and action during the scene instead of mainly dialogue.

            If we had more time to work on this scene and improve it, I think we would have added in more description. Since a movie is mostly visual, there needs to be a lot of description in the script but we didn’t add any and made it mostly dialogue.
