Plot Hole

Welcome back blog readers!

As promised in my last post, I will discuss our final plot ideas. But upon talking to Isabella, we came to the realization that there is a hole in our plot. 

After brainstorming off of each other's ideas, we concluded that the found love story would revolve around a young couple in college. Without figuring out the exact details, we agreed to portray the boyfriend/husband as an aspiring film-maker who vlogs/films all aspects of his life. 

  • One day, in his college class, the guy, which we have not named (and should get on top of that soon), decides to vlog himself in class discussing how his day is going. 
    • He will notice a girl walking through the doors and instantly turns the camera to show her beauty. Then, he will talk about the giant crush that she has on this girl and will make it a point to talk to her next class.
    • Since he is a vlogger, he will begin to document their love story and film their first conversation, their first dates, proposal, etc.
  • After a couple of years, the boyfriend/husband will come home from class/work and will begin to vlog from inside of his car.
    • The girlfirend/wife will run out of the house and surprise him.
      • He begins to vlog her
    • The girlfriend/wife will be shown with a pregancy stick that reads positive
      • He jumps out of the car, vlogs the pregancny stick and yells "I'm gonna be a father!"
    • He tells the girlfriend/wife to wait there as he runs across the street to pick up a flower from the neighbor's yard.
      • On his way back across the street, a car will not see him, and will run him over
        • He is vlogging the whole acident
          • Camera falls and you hear the girlfirend/wife scream
          • Fade to static
This overall plot is a great start to our project, but we soon realized that there is no resolution. If the filming of the love story is the rising action and his death is the climax, what's the resolution? We can't create two trailers for a film that doesnt have a resolutio, it's impossible and incomplete! We have hit a plot hole, and now we are stuck. 

Hopefully Isabella and I will be able to create a resolution to our plot and will find our way out of the plot hole. 

Until then.....
