MY LIFE AS A MOVIE

Narrative: CHEYANNE
Author: CHEYANNE DRYSDALE

I believe that my life would make a good movie because many crazy things tend to happen to me. (Or so I think!) I also think it would make a good movie because it would be interesting to look back on how I grew and how I have overcome certain challenges within my life.

Some key scenes I would adapt would be my birth, all of my graduations, and all of my accomplishments.  These would be relevant because they show strong points in my life, and they are also all coming of age points. I would also adapt negative parts of my life because although they were pretty embarrassing, they show me overcoming obstacles that I never thought I could.

I would leave out embarrassing moments, such as petty mistakes that I regret because I would not want people to see those. I would also leave out the boring parts because they are unnecessary and I would want people to be interested, not bored!

The target audience would be teenagers because I feel like at this point in my life they are the ones I can relate to the most. Adults would be a target as well because many things in my life have revolved around my parents, so they could relate to my parents more than they could to me. A lot of things I do probably would not make sense to most children, so I don't think that would be a good idea to let them view.

The setting would be here in Canada, in a home similar to my own. I'd try to keep it as close to my life as possible, because I don't want people thinking negative things about me. It would be sincere and real, something not many movies are these days. I would want someone who looks very similar to myself so it would be more believable. I would get a kick out of this.

I would want Quentin Tarentino to direct it because he has always been my favorite director, as he has the tendency to over exaggerate things and make them outrageous. I would make him do this in the most believable way possible to make my life look THAT much more interesting.

The music would be popular upbeat songs from today's charts because this is the kind of music I like. Alot of people like this music too, and many times I have found myself saying "hey I want to see that movie because the soundtrack is amazing." I know many people think this way too. Examples of genres I would include are: rap, pop, electronic and easy rock. (they are my favourite).

An example of my crazy life!
