#1, by male students: a geeky or nerdy or weird male suddenly has some
beautiful woman interested in him

#2, by female students - a woman in a bad home situation makes a break for
it at the end of the film - last shot is her on a bus, in a car, on a train,
or walking away down the road.

Specific shots in LA:
#1 - Venice boardwalk, muscle beach etc
#2 - "homeless" young people on Hollywood streets
#3 - Hollywood Blvd at night in general
