After reviewing the plot over with the group members, we decided to make some changes to the plot. We, as a group, felt the plot was too much of a cliché, due to the fact that it has been shown in almost every single bullying movie. We wanted this video to be unique and different and in doing so we added something and someone to the story. Not much will change in terms of the overall plot, but what we basically did to make the video interesting for both the viewers and creators, is we added another main character. Therefore instead of looking at self creation through the eyes of one individual you see them through both. By doing this slight change we are now able to show contrast in both characters and their attempts to their own self creation.

Specific changes to the plot:

-Beginning-
Instead of showing one individual go through school and life, you see two. The importance of having two main characters is so we can build contrast and show two different perspectives of self creation.
*Our goal for the end of this video is to bring both aspects together to show one overall message*
Instead of seeing one harsh vlog snippet, there will be two on a "split screen," in a montage format. On the left you will see an individual who says a negative phrase about his life, for instance "Life SUCKS." Whereas on the right you will have a vlog of someone who loves the life they live, this will be shown through his statement where he states "Last night was AWESOME!"
The story begins with these two vlog snippets, whereby we make it obvious to the viewers who succeeds and who fails in there self creation.

-Middle-
We see both of them in different situations, such as sitting with friends in the cafeteria, studying with friend at the library, going to parties and getting ready for prom. In all these situations we will show the contrast in both characters but in doing so we do not want to make it very obvious. We decided to show them pass each other in the hallway and also with there friends to show how similar the setting is for both of them. The similarity of setting put more emphasis on the different personalities seeing as it poses a question. If they both go to the same school and faces the same challenges why is it so hard for one to fit in and so easy for another? Throughout the video we will show vlog snippets from both characters to show how each of them is participating in self creation in two different ways.

-End-
By the end of the video it should be fairly obvious to the viewers who succeeds in self creation and who fails. This will be shown through all the aspects of life as well as the vlog clips. The ending will still be the same, where the individual who fails in self creation has an outburst on one of his vlogs and decided to take his own life. The only change we made to the ending is, instead of ending off with the date (1992-2010) we end by zooming out of his vlog entry and seeing it posted on a "you tube" page. The big twist behind the whole video is that the person watching this vlog entry is the main character who succeeds in his self creation. We end the video with the character in shock, which is shown through the final phrase which is "that could have been me!"

The purpose of this video is to show how strong self creation can be and what is can do to an individual. We chose to show this through a video because it gives the viewer visual examples, making it look and feel more realistic.

Setting:
In terms of the setting we want to expand our environment and try to stay away from filming everything at school, seeing as the things that happen at school do not just stay at school, they stay with you wherever you go and impact your life in many ways. We plan to film in the following location:
-Rick Hansen Secondary School (cafeteria, classroom, hallway)
-Square one shopping center
-Mississauga library
-My house (vlog scene done in my bedroom)
-Joshua Paul's house (house party scene)

Characters:
-Main character #1 - Neeraj Arora
-Main Character #2 - Naeem Moosajee
-Best friend of #2- Andreas, Moaraj, Taha
-Other character in the background- Still deciding
