Yes.
I'm gonna be honest I've been feeling a little bit awkward with the direction this project has taken because it didn't really feel like there was much meaning to the storytelling, and the message wasn't direct enough.
I've had lots of experience with all facets of production yet I don't have much experience with screenwriting... I've practiced making commercials, all sorts of promos, and music videos, but I've never actually practiced making films before. I have to admit, I had lots of trouble with writing this opening, it was frustrating and I almost got discouraged... but everyone has got to start somewhere and I still have time to fix it!! So instead of lingering on in those emotions of stress, I looked for solutions and answers.
Back to the roots
To fix my issue with the storytelling, I went back to the overall theme and purpose of the story, which was to eventually show that the character found success as a creative and grew less and less fearful of rejection. This character was almost living like a double life and realized she had to choose between fitting in, and being her true self, but then took full ownership of who she is!
Researching
I thought I would go back in and do some extra research... this video made some really great points and proposed different ways in which a film may start, some pretty neat structures!!
I am thinking about still using some of what I filmed but I'm going to shift the way it's told, I will overlay some of the audio that I got
