Your Harmatia is Showing

Story Idea

There is this drug dealer who started selling pot because he wanted to smoke for free. It turns out a lot of people liked his product and this drug dealer started to make a name for him/herself. Through a series of fortunate events this drug dealer was able to make a few good connections, so he could expand his business. This drug dealer got greedy and was no longer fine with being small time, so he put his trust into some questionable people. At first it worked well and he or she had success, but these questionable people failed and this drug dealer ended up dead.

Harmatia

What I want the audience to see and what they will see is that this drug dealer is a trusting person. The audience will see examples of this before he or she even becomes a drug dealer. The audience will understand that this drug dealer is too trusting and will probably be able to infer that this overcompensation of trust will lead to some trouble to the road. This drug dealer wants to see the good in people, so much so that it enables him or her to see a person’s true character. I want the audience to be screaming at this drug dealer (in their head of course) to not trust a certain person because it is so obvious that he or she is not a person to be trusted.

Peripetieia

What the audience will see is the consistent downfall of this drug dealer. The audience will see in the beginning happiness and by the end I want the audience to see the destruction and despair of this drug dealer caused by his or her actions. I think sad ending make for a better movie usually. I want the audience to know that the path the drug dealer is on is going to lead to his or her death and that there is nothing the audience can do to stop it.

Anagorisis

Towards the very end the audience will see that the drug dealer has recognized his or her tragic flaw of trusting too much, but it will be too late. Even though the drug dealer will understand his or her tragic flaw he or she will accept that it is too late, and as much as the audience wants the drug dealer to change the drug dealer wont change. At the end I want the audience to feel sad because there was nothing that they could do to save this drug dealer from destruction.
