Exposition: in this film tells the story of a boy who is busy following his cell phone Inciting incident: the child does not see the surrounding environment when walking. Then the boy tripped over a root and looked back which made him want to play in the park. His phone caught the boy's attention again with a like on his social media. Increased action : the child is happy and follows the cell phone with the likes that the cell phone gives continuously. until he almost gets hit by a car. Then his cellphone gave him a game of fruit and he continued walking Climax: When walking, a water ball is thrown at the child. It turned out to be another child who wanted to invite the boy to play. His cell phone gave him a victory in the game he played on his cell phone. however, the child wants to play with other children. His phone gives him a youtube watch, but he still doesn't want to. Resolution : in the end, the child turns off his cell phone and runs towards the other children to play. Turns out it was another mobile cinema viewing, and it scared him. Denounment : so in conclusion, this tension allows a cellphone to control a child, and it turns out that looking at the surroundings, allows the child to see the world
