My film opening didn’t go the way that I planned…
I don’t mean this in a bad way! The outcome of the film opening was different from what I expected and honestly some major factors were changed. It's not uncommon for ideas to evolve and change as you work on a project. It's important to remain flexible and open to new possibilities. It's rare for a creative project to turn out exactly as planned, especially with filmmaking where there are many variables at play, such as weather, location availability, and the performance of actors. The characters are the same but I was still able to incorporate the original aspects of the film opening into the final product.
I honestly think I spent too much time trying to develop a whole story rather than focusing on the OPENING aspect. It's not uncommon to get caught up in the creative process and lose sight of the specific goals or constraints of a project. In the case of the film opening, it can be easy to become invested in the story and characters and forget that the opening is intended to set up the rest of the film. I really was trying to look at the bigger picture this entire time. As an artist, I always want to strive for more when creating something, and I felt that the constraints of just making a two-minute film opening were making my brain burst. I wanted to fully flesh out this idea, and I lost sight of the actual goal.
