Undeserved Misfortune


A film that shows underserved misfortune is The Princess and the Frog. Tiana kisses the frog that was turned into a frog in order to help him turn back to human. But since she is not a real princess, she turns into a frog instead.
Another film that shows undeserved misfortune is Bajo La Misma Luna. The main character’s grandmother dies and his economic status forces him to cross the U.S border. He has a long suffering journey in the United States.  
This undeserved misfortune is an idea for a film because the screenwriter could script the movie about someone whose intention is to help someone else but instead they are hurt in the process.

An undeserved misfortune that can occur in real life is that someone might lose all their belongings or family members because of an event that they cannot control.  An undeserved misfortune helps the audience feel compassionate towards the main character. 

Film Job

I would like to have the job of a Producer. I would be fit for the job because I am organized and neat. I would make sure that all the team members are meeting for shooting. I would be responsible for making sure that the team has all the necessary equipment.

Conflict


Conflict in The Perks of Being a Wallflower is that Charlie, the main character, is suicidal and has bad memories from when he was a child.  His childhood haunts him even in his teenage years.   
Charlie does what he feels the person would like him to do. He does not do what he knows is right. For example, when Patrick is sad that Brad broke up with him, Patrick kissed Charlie to ease his pain. Charlie allowed Patrick to kiss him because he wanted to be a good friend. But Charlie was actually hurting Patrick because he was not being honest.
Charlie later dates a friend from his group, Mary Elizabeth. He does not really like her but he does not break up with her because he does not want to hurt her feelings. Conflict is presented in this scene because of Charlie’s lack of understanding of communication. He does not communicate well with Mary Elizabeth therefore it is obvious that their relationship will not flourish.
