On the topic of the project itself, I haven't exactly thought much of film openings at all. When the teacher opened the presentation for us to take notes on the guidelines and qualities of a film opening, I was initially confused on what it was. After understanding a bit, I dug through my memory of movies that I watched in the past and it all just clicked! I even told my parents about the lesson, and they were as confused as I was at first. It's almost like the first few scenes of a play; what is met to the audience after the curtain swings open will give them an idea of the general gist of the rest of the performance. At least that is what I concluded from my understanding, I'm learning about theatre in a separate class, so that probably leaked into my interpretation.
It's all so interesting to think about, however I freeze when I realize that I'll have to create something similar. I'd love to take baby steps, but even for this amount of extended time, I'm not sure if this will be possible without a little extra push. I have hopes that it won't become too stressful of a push, and even then, I'll rely on the coping tactics I learned through dealing with my anxiety as a lifeline. After deciding the genre and medium (elaborated further in the next post or two), the number one check on my to-do list is to create a personal schedule to follow through on!
I'll have to buy a physical calendar, that might motivate me more. I'll get one with cute cats so I can't help but look at it.
