Big Week: Day 1

I feel that my work day today was good. I have a really good plan to get my shit done. I have only committed to a small amount of work, because i don't know how long it should take, and if i finish, i can do more.  My idea is to write a scene and use my toys to act it out and I would film it. I don't want to think of this as a movie, more a filmed scene. I have it so that the scene that i wrote today can easily be expanded but can stand alone by itself. I don't have much experience in film making so i can up with an idea that can be simple to edit. Tomorrow I will film and edit at home. I i need more time to film or edit i have more days to do that.

  • 1. What is the first creative moment you remember?
  • The first creative moment I can remember was in the first grade. Every person in our class had to write a short story and I had remembered about this picture book about a boy and an apple tree. I immediately started to retell the story. My teacher loved that story, probably because she never read the book. She told me I should continue with the story and expand it. I put it into a folder that our teacher had for us for our unfinished work. That draft was in that folder for the rest of the year and when I came back to it I had a completely different idea and I really loved the finished story.
  • 2. Was anyone there to witness or appreciate it?
  • Yes my teacher was there and she was really supportive.
  • 3. What is the best idea you’ve ever had?
  • The best idea I've ever had was in the 8th grade when I decided to approach life differently, I realized that every time i got upset or sad i could control that emotion. Since then I've been dissecting emotion itself, and decided that i don't want happiness like most people, but my life goal is peace.
  • 4. What made it great in your mind?
  • What made it great was that because of it, I am living my life the way that i really want to. This is my philosophy and my life. I choose to not be angry or sad, and never let happiness overcome me, and not let fear control my life, and that is what makes this idea great.

  • 5. What is the dumbest idea?
  • I've had a lot of dumb ideas, but who hasn't. But usually dumb ideas don't make it into the real world, but the dumbest idea that i actually worked on was in the 4th grade when i decided to write a story about a Mario video game.

  • 6. What made it stupid?
  • It was stupid because I loved that idea at the time, but now that i look back on it, it seems really stupid.

  • 7. Can you connect the dots that led you to this idea?
  • I got that video game for Christmas and that was all i was thinking about for all of school
