(Inciting Incident: An action, situation, event, etc. that occurs in the first act which disturbs the life of the protagonist and sets them in pursuits of an objective).
For just some quick background, our movie (which was a comedy) was about this kid named, Kyle. Kyle always loved basketball but one thing set him apart from everyone else: his height. He was so short. But Kyle was determined to prove everyone wrong so he decided to try out for the basketball team...
INT. DAY. GYM.
Shuffling of feet, squeaks of basketball sneakers on gym floor. Pan across feet of basketball players. Flash to a shot of Coach Cam talking.
COACH CAM
Alright! Line it up. You've all been waiting a year for this day. You've all put in the work for this day. Now you've gotta be ready to show me what you've got on this day. Got it?
Everyone stays Quiet.
COACH CAM
I said GOT IT?!
ALL
(Muttering embarrassingly)
yes, coach.
COACH CAM
camera pans across faces of boys as their names are called.
alright, we'll go through roll call first...Mike, Charlie, Eddie, Sean, Tyron, Matt, ky-
camera has to drop down low to actually see kyle because of his shortness.
boy, didn't anyone tell you basketball is a tall man's sport?!
KYLE
But I can play coach.
COACH CAM
Yeah? Well, we'll see won't we? line it up.
all of the boys line up and the camera shoots all of the players standing collectively. The height difference is extremely evident. All the other players look down the line at Kyle and snicker. The players start with a free throw shooting drill. Each player shoots the ball once, some make it in, some don't. Kyle steps up to the line. He shoots and scores.
COACH CAM
again.
KYLE
what?
COACH CAM
I said again. shoot the ball again.
kyle shoots the ball again. It goes in.
COACH CAM
again.
kyle shoots. again, it goes in the hoop with a nice swish sound. coach cam repeats the again three more times and three more times, kyle scores. Coach cam stands with a puzzled look on his face before speaking.
COACH CAM
okay, that's enough of this drill. Boys? Looks like we got us a free-throw shooter. Let's play some three-on-three old school. Count off by three's and split up.
Kyle starts to jog past coach cam but coach cam pulls him to the side for a quick minute.
COACH CAM
keep it up, kid. Let's give these guys a run for their money. ya hear me?
KYLE
yes sir, coach.
COACH CAM
don't call me, sir. Now go get to your team.
KYLE
yes si-I mean, coach.
Kyle jogs over to his team. They all pat his back when he gets there.
