Meeting with teacher

I was absent the day my teacher went over learning how to write a screenplay. According to my partner, she went over really valuable information that helped her further develop out plot for the Lemonade Mules story, which seemed like the best option at that point.

This is the outline she came up with:



After meeting with our teacher, my partner decided to narrow down our choices of story to the Lemonade Mules and The Chef.  Our teacher offered a bit of advice on how to execute the plot and this the plot outline for the Lemonade Mules that my partner came up with.


She met with our teacher again to get some feedback on the plot, to which she had a lot of advice. She advised us to drop the whole drug dealer component to the story and focus on a dispute between the homeowner and honest kids just trying to sell lemonade. She said to focus on the difference in age between the kids and the homeowner.

She based this on the fact that we only have five minutes to tell this story, and adding all these layers to the story will make it an impractical feat. I completely disagree with this, but I was not there to defend my choices when coming up with the idea. Since there was no real compromise reached yet, we will most likely keep debating on how we might want to take this story.
