What Would Happen Next?

 So, this is actually pretty irrelevant to our actual movie opening, but I felt like doing a fun blog post explaining to you all where how the rest of this movie would play it out if it was a full length film. Yes, my group and I did make scenarios in our head about what would happen next and how the movie would end. I feel like we all have different opinions, so I'll focus on what I wanted to happen. 

So, what I imagine would happen right after the opening is that the scene would travel back in time to the end of there last school year when Betty and James were still happily together. They'd be shown going out of school and saying their sad goodbyes as James left town to summer vacation with his family at their beach home while Betty is stuck at her house. 

I imagine this beach town to be the site where many families who live more inland come to vacation. So, August and her family would be there too. That is where August and James would meet and most of this part of the movie would show their illicit, summer romance. Meanwhile, Betty would be seen now and then doing nothing at home and getting anxious as James' texts would come less often.

Next, at the end of summer, James would end things in August, realizing that it was a huge mistake and that he wants Betty back. Unfortunately, news flies fast in these little towns. Word has reached the school gossip and Betty's best friend, Inez, that James had been cuddling up with August all summer. Betty would soon find out and things would end between them in a horrible breakup. 

They would all be seen returning to school sad and frustrated. August must face the reality that James doesn't want her, and that what they had was no more. James has to accept the fact that if Betty doesn't want him back, then that's how it must be. Finally, Betty must learn to cope with this heartbreak and survive on her own. The movie would return to the scene of the opening but this time the audience would know what has happened. I also imagine a scene where Betty throws a party and James shows up trying to win her back.

At the end of the movie, I think James and Betty find each other again and continue their relationship. As for August, I think she matures and learns to be a nicer person as she starts her adult life in college.
