Storyline of film opening 

Exposition (Introduction)

The movie would start by introducing the main character, Ellie. She is a full time college student with no parental figures. Her parents abandoned her at a very young age and left her living with her aunt, which was an alcoholic. She never received much attention from her family as a child or as a teenager. For this reason, as soon as she turned 18, she moved out of her aunt's house and started living by herself. She rented a small room in a house shared by multiple families, which later became her family. During the first part of the movie she is showed spending time with the people she lives with. They are all watching movies sharing the only sofa in the living room. I wanted to include this scene in order to show the audience what type of relationship they have and what a day in her daily life is like. At the end of the day, she goes to her room to work on some homework. The next morning, she is given her last warning saying that she must pay her rent by the end of the month, or else, she will be kicked out. She becomes really stressed and overwhelmed because she doesn't have any money, or time. 

After calming down, Ellie grabs a newspaper and starts looking and for jobs. She started calling every place that was hiring, or where she though she had a chance. However, after calling multiple places, no one was willing to hire her. To relieve her stress, she decides to go for a walk. While she is walking, she finds a flyer on the street of a baking competition, where they are giving $10,000 to the winner. The competition only requires for you to make a cake of your liking, but in 1 hour span. She looks at the flyer and finds hope. Even though she is excited and willing to participate, she has never made a cake before, or anything similar. She has no experience with cooking or baking whatsoever. Moreover, as soon as she sees the flyer, she rushes home to start practicing. The competition is three weeks away, so she has time to practice.  

Rising Action & Climax

After she sees the flyer and goes home to start practicing, she first starts researching how to make a cake from scratch and all the components that come with making a cake. She practices and practices until she finally is able to make a decent cake. Over the weeks, she finally accomplished her mission: a beautiful and delicious cake that she made within the time limit. She is happy and excited and has lots of hope. The day of the competition gets here... she is really nervous and her friends are there to give her support. This competition will be streamed worldwide, so she feels a lot of pressure over her shoulders. 

Once she gets to the comptetition, she is taken to her baking station, where she has every ingredient and tool she will be needing to make her cake. There is an enormous screen with the timer in front of her table. There is a huge crowd cheering and waiting for the show to begin. Once it begins, she is the fastest of all the contestants. Everything is going as planned, until she realized that the frosting she made does not have the right consistency. This is a huge problem since the frosting is a crucial element in the assembly of cake. Although this took some of her time, she was able to fix it and keep working on her cake. She continued crushing the competition. When there were only 5 minutes left, she proceeded to make the final details of the cake and make sure everything was going as planned.. Once the timer reached one minute, she was already done! Her cake was precious compared to those of her competitors. It was different, creative, well assembled and frosted, and it tasted great!

A bell rung, which indicated that the competition was over. The crowd was cheering and the judges were anxious to try all of the different creations. They started trying and analyzing each cake, one by one.. they even questioned each of the competitors as to why they made each of their choices. Her friends were cheering for her back home, and hoping she wins. They were excited and happy for her because all of her hard work. On the other hand, Ellie was frightened for the judges to try her cake. She was really nervous and kept thinking that she was not going to win. However, when the judges got to her table, they were amazed of how good and beautiful her cake was. And so was she, she didn't expect the judges to react the way they did. 

Resolution

As everyone expected... she won the competiton. All of her work had finally paid off. She won the $10,000 and was able to pay all her debts. She will be able to pay her rent and keep focusing on her studies. However, after this crazy and unexpected experience, she reconsidered majoring in psychology and chose culinary school instead. She found her true passion, something she had never expected. She loves baking and spends her free time making all types of sweets for her friends. After finishing culinary school, she opened her own bakery, which became on of the most famous bakeries in the state. She later got married and started a family. She had two little boys, who since they were kids, knew how to make a cake.
