The Diary of Jane: Storyline Explanation

I realize that the storyline is confusing, so I wrote this for you guys. :) I also added little notes of my own to further explain my intentions.

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll be happy to explain anything you're confused about.



In the beginning of the movie, you see Ben's funeral. Jane is crying, and Seth is comforting her. Then Jane remember's Ben's death...

Ben was killed in a house fire. Jane happened to be walking by one day when she saw his home in flames. Ben was trapped inside his room, so Jane rushed to the door to try to help him. When she got there, the flames were too hot, and she realized there was nothing she could do because it was already too late.

[During the flashback, there was a quick shot of Ben proposing to her, and hopefully you noticed the engagement ring during the first half of the movie.]

A year has passed, and Seth spent the day with Jane. He walked her home and tried to kiss her, but she refused, saying she still loved Ben. He told her it's been so long and that she should move on. She agrees, and they kiss.

Ben doesn't like this, so he awakens from the grave. He jumps out and returns in his zombie-ish human form and walks out of the graveyard to find them.

The next day, Jane goes over to Seth's house. They spend the day together, and he invites her to stay the night with him.

[Yes, part of this was just fill-in footage, or whatever you call it. It really has no great importance to the story, but I wanted to illustrate how Seth was able to make her laugh and how she was finally happy after all her grieving. Oh, and her engagement ring is gone.]

Ben finally finds them and breaks into the house. He goes upstairs and breaks a vase next to their room to awaken Seth. It works, and Seth looks around to find what caused the vase to fall.

[I know the vase was an urn. I wanted to replace it with a vase but I didn't know how. I just needed him to break something. :P]

He goes downstairs to look around more when he hears Ben call his name. He turns around shocked and asks what he's doing here. Ben tells him that he shouldn't be with Jane and he wants revenge, but Seth wants to talk about it. Before he has a chance, Ben is already walking towards him and pushed him down. Seth lunges at him, but goes right through him. Ben finishes the fight and kills him, right as Jane wakes up from the noise.

[Omg, the fight scene was the HARDEST scene for me to direct (and you could probably tell, haha). I probably made about ten different versions before I finally settled for that one (I'm still not happy with it). Basically, Ben has the power to be normal or ghostlike, so he's able to hurt Seth, but not vice versa.]

Jane saw what happened, and immediately ran down. She pushes Ben out of the way and asked him why he killed him. Ben explained that he still loved her, but she had already moved on. She began crying for Seth, and Ben realized what he did was wrong. He walked over to the fallen Seth and magically lifts him up. In a flash of light, he disappears, but Seth comes out completely unharmed.

[Okay, for all dramatic purposes, Jane wasn't afraid of Ben and she was also able to push him. And Seth was supposed to be dead, even though he was breathing. :P]

Jane and Seth have their little moment, then go back to bed. Then we find out that Ben disappeared to Jane's dream, and she holds him closely. He is surprised that she forgave him, and they kiss.

[Err...it was hard for me to think of an ending, and it was contradictory. So basically even though she said she'd already moved on, in her heart she still loved him and she always will. Corny? Yes! But wouldn't that mean she's betraying Seth? Maybe! I guess it's really up to you.]



Hopefully this helped! :)
