new plot and final revisions #38

To work with what I already had and to make my film more like an opening, I scratched the opening scene of my project entirely. The previous opening scene will now take place after the new and current opening scene that I filmed, in the order of the real film. Instead of discovering the spelling bee tryouts, his mother will be upset that he failed them and ground him for that. He will then struggle to make his way onto the team and eventually win the spelling bee through the help of the homeless man.

The new opening scene of my film will begin as the protagonist gets to school; confident he will pass the spelling bee tryouts. While taking the test, the student struggles while a careless looking student passes easily. After the time is up, the protagonist finds out that he failed the test, and in an act of anger breaks the white board. Feeling defeated, he walks home where the homeless man asks him what's wrong. The protagonist then adheres to stereotypes and rudely declines his offer, not knowing the man was a previous spelling bee champion.
