Research

 I feel like I am going in circles, and I am honestly helpless. I have never had this much trouble coming up with an idea for a video or film ever. I came up with better ideas quicker for my television production 1 class, freshman year, than this project. I know I have to make it great, I want to utilize all the time that I have, but I can’t move on until I set my head on one single idea. In the meantime, I have been researching more in-depth about how to make a great film opening. 

In a film opening, the main character should be introduced through their interactions with other characters in their regular lives, whether at work or at home. If viewers regularly observe your primary character interacting with their surroundings, it will be easier for them to connect with them. In this section of the screenplay, writers attempt to emotionally engage their audience and introduce them to the story's ideas. Films can have a significant impact on our lives by revealing new viewpoints and by telling a tale.

I feel that giving myself a break from thinking was the right decision to make. I need to allow my creative juices to flow so that I can get back on track, but I feel that I was able to take this time to increase my knowledge about the technical aspects that go into creating a film opening. Hopefully, the next time I am writing here I will have a solid idea!
