dramatic moment

Sean is a boy who randomly hits his head falling on the ground and gets the power to transport (5ft) in any direction. Before, Sean feels alone in the classroom as if no one wants to talk to him. You can see this in the way sean keeps himself in the corner of the class and tries to seclude himself from the rest of the class. On the computer screen there is a game where there are certain characters with super powers and you can see drawings of super heros on the paper in front of Sean's computer. This shows sean desiring to escape from his normal self to be something special and stand as the symbol of good. There is a lesson going on in the background, but sean keeps drawing his superheros. Sean is dressed in a black and white shirt signifying him choosing later on in the short film whether or not to use his powers for good/ show off. Someone spills a drink and then sean slips and falls on his head. Then he realizes he has powers and ponders using them to help those around him or not. He chooses to not help those around him seeing people who didn't talk to him as being inferior to him and begins to disrupt the students using his power. Such as annoying them zipping by asking them obvious questions (what are you doing?) repeatedly. The setting in the classroom (mr. bigue) is appropriate for the situation of sean (tj) to portray a disturbed child who hates life. (just kidding). But, having Sean in the corner of the room will be able to portray the idea quite well of isolation and the actors will be able to play their parts fine. Also the contrast of the noisy room in the background of sean who is really mellow, will show isolation.
