Initial Storyboard

    The opening starts with a black screen. Suddenly, an alarm sounds. The black screen cuts to a shot of an alarm clock ringing, and a hand is shown slamming on it, turning it off. This cuts to a medium shot of Betty waking up and getting out of bed. A voiceover starts with her speaking, explaining who she is and what she is going through. As she speaks, there is a pan across her room to reveal certain things that are important to the story. For example, a teddy bear in a trash can and a ripped up picture of her and a boy. This is the part where she explains that she is broken hearted. Throughout the pan and shots of her room, the opening credits are being shown at the bottom of the screen. Music is also playing.

    Next, the scene cuts to an over-the-shoulder shot of Betty applying makeup to herself in the mirror. The voiceover continues as she gets ready in the morning. She finishes speaking right before the door suddenly rings. She quickly turns over the shoulder wondering who it could be. This cuts to a POV shot of Betty walking up to the door, turning the knob, and opening the door, to reveal James, her ex-boyfriend standing outside. He is holding flowers and begs Betty for forgiveness. A short over-the-shoulder dialogue occurs. He explains that he didn't mean what he did. Betty refuses to take him back, since she feels extremely hurt by him. This shows that something went terrible wrong in their relationship. 

    Turning him away, Betty slams the door in his face. A close-up shot of her face shows her distress and sadness over the whole situation. James turns away from the front door with a disappointed demeanor and walks towards the street. This cuts to a medium-long shot of James walking down the sidewalk, next to the road, when a car pulls up next to him. August, James' ex-fling, is seen to be the driver of the car. She begins to talk to him, asking why he was being this way and that they should go back to how they were. James refuses saying it was a one-time thing and he regrets it since it hurt Betty, the girl he truly loves. This implies that the reason Betty and James aren't together is because he cheated on her with August. 

    

    After some convincing, August gets James to get into her car so she can give him a ride home. Before starting the car, she keeps pushing James to his limit as she constantly tries to convince him to continue their relations. An angry James begins to argue with August, since he doesn't want to be with her. A medium-close up from outside the car of the pair arguing is shown. The camera then begins to tilt up from the teenagers to the sky. As this tilting occurs, their arguing gets quieter and more muffled, while the music gets louder and clearer. Once the camera tilts enough to only show the blue sky, the title of the film fades into view, and the scene ends.
