Plotline

  I developed concept, background, character, and function of the story, but I was missing the structure. I have these storyteller cards my mom got me for my birthday that serve as an amazing guide for nearing stories in the right direction.

I toyed around with a few to see if I could get a good outcome out of the "structure" cards and here were the results:


I love this card in particular, because I feel that life does not get gradually get better or worse, it has it's ups and downs. As humans we are susceptible to encountering obstacles but the way we handle them is what leaves a lasting impact on our lives. This card is special because adding that nonlinear flow to the storyline humanizes the characters a lot more. 

I did note that the card starts off with a "problem," however I think in this film opening the problem (the perceived love interest) will be merely sugar coated as a convenience that is subconsciously an inconvenience to the protagonist for lack of better words. After some thought, I do feel that I might be dipping my toes in a shallow pool, I might want to explore the themes of self-discovery and self-actualization a lot more, we'll see if that gets anywhere!
