Eyes fixed on the glowing screen, every laugh, gasp, and scare feels larger than life. Perhaps you grip the armrest during tense scenes, double over with laughter in the funny ones, and forget for a moment that you’re even in a theater. Write a narrative about what it’s like to experience the story as one of the kids in the audience.

Things to think about when choosing this path:

• What do you notice around you in the cinema before the movie begins?
• How do you react during the funniest, scariest, or most exciting moments?
• What emotions run through you as the story builds toward its climax?
• Beginning: What do you notice as the lights dim and the movie starts?
• Middle: How do you react during the most exciting, funny, or scary moments?
• End: How do you feel when the credits roll and the lights come back on?
