After todays lecture about structure and story lines, I've decided to simplify my idea. I no longer want to try and fit a complex idea into a short timely removing parts of it, but instead develop a seemingly basic idea into something with a deeper storyline and a solid set of characters by adding content and detail to it.
My new idea is based on the relationship between a boy and girl ending, and shows how the boy deals with the emotion he feels the next day when he realises what has happened.
Carl, like most boys his age, likes to have a good drink on a night out. But Carl doesn't know when to stop. One night the alcohol takes over, making him blind to what he is doing as he turns on his girlfriend Jess, when she tells him to slow down. The pair begin to argue and step outside, where he grabs her by the throat and threatens her in an adjacent alley. Fearing what Carl will do to her, Jess manages to shrug him off and screams its over in front of passers by on the high street. Carl plays the big man and tells her he doesn't need her out of embarrassment from being dumped in public and the pair go their separate ways. The next morning, hungover and now saddened by his actions, Carl trashed any memories he has of his relation ship with Jess, tearing photos in half and destroying presents she had previously bought him. He decides to get some fresh air and goes into town where he reflects on what happened the night before through a series of violent flash backs. His visions are interrupted as he bumps into an old school friend named Kat. the pair know each other well and once had a thing for each other that never turned serious. Kat instantly takes Carls mind off of his ex and the pair begin to laugh and instantly click. Time passes and the pair seem to reignite their previous feelings for each other and head for a bar where they can relax and spend some one on one time together. After a few drinks Carl swaps the alcohol for soft drinks, avoiding the person he becomes on too many nights out. Kat continues to get drunk and is all over Carl for the rest of the night. The two eventually leave and Carl offers to walk Kat home because of the state she is in. The two get less than a hundred yards before Kat drunkenly goes in for a kiss and tells Carl she loves him. Little does Carl know that Kat has a boyfriend named Dan and he has been waiting for Kat to leave since being spotted by a friend earlier on in the night. As the two kiss, there is a moment of silence between them as they gaze at each other and a bottle smashes across the side of Carls face. Dan grabs Kat and pulls her away leaving Carl on the floor in a bad way. Passers by eventually find Carl and call an abumlance. The bottle that blinded him from his aggressive drunken ways also blinded him physically.
