I somehow need to come up with a script for Intro, a detailed plot point outline for Screenwriting, an essay for English, and four very special portraits for photo.
For intro, I want to write a script about two friends who suffer the consequences when they take their relationship to the next level. I'm having such a hard time feeling it out though. Like it's difficult to find places to start and end. I know for a fact that I need to have the actual moment in the movie, but I don't know if I show what their friendship was like before, and I don't really know what comes after
I have never been in this situation before, so I'm not really sure what the solution to just awkwardness is. Maybe they talk about it...? idk. That sounds really weak, like there isn't a climax. Just they hang out, have sex, hang out uncomfortably, talk it out, hug. That sounds like a really shitty movie to me. Maybe she starts being interested in a new guy and her homie gets upset because he feels sexually threatened. There needs to be more results than just sexual tension. It just makes an anti-climatic movie. I need to feel out that third act more
Also I have four minutes tops in this movie, so there's a lot of exposition to happen as well as mucho externalizing. We don't have time to get personal
I need to print four portraits of people, which is easy except they need to have a background that reflects who they are. My current method of doing this is dissecting what words I use to describe my friends, and then finding visual representations of these words. I'm trying to avoid things like hobbies and activities. I did Chris Knight's portrait like this this afternoon. Chris likes to play paintball and eventually is gonna look for a career in animation. However, the words I use to describe Chris are words like aggressive, tough, blue collar, smart...So I had him lean up against his brothers worn camper (tough, blue collar), reading books and holding his laptop (intelligent and good with computers, pursuing a career there), with a "beware of dog" sign on the side of the camper (aggressive). I also had him look into camera to help solidify that aggressiveness is part of his lifestyle. I don't really know what else to do, but my gut is telling me to capture Isaiah on film with his dad in church. It just feels right
I don't know how I'm going to handle the rest, but at least I've got a plan of what I need to be thinking about this next week. So much for getting a break. I've got to keep up with all my outside of school responsibilities (Devil's Co, volunteering at Mole-Richardson, trying to find the right girl, trying to get some money). This semester is tough. Can't wait till summer!
