Hm

  Last class I was so set on what I’d wanted to do for my opening, but now I’m not entirely sure. I hate that I’m having doubts, but I know that they’re valid. I literally did research on comedy dramas, have given so much thought to the concept, and now this? Maybe I shouldn’t have jumped right in, but I really do need to consider the other options. I know what a good opening needs, I know how to make a good character, I know how to make a great plot arc, but the thing that I’m struggling with is just what it should be.

I like the masculine “Fuck-around and find out” kind of vibe I was going for. I know no matter what I’m gonna keep it, but now I had the idea of it not being about a high school student, but instead about a frontman for a rockband. No matter what I do I know I will keep consistent elements like the themes of the character, and now that I think about it I’m going to keep it a comedy drama as well. I know that my story is very character oriented, and will show the maturing process of whatever character I pick. There’s that Will Hunting type character, there’s this Elton John/Tommy Lee type guy (Not like either I’m gonna make him my own), and there could be so many others, but I’m upset that I am having these reservations.

    Listen at the end of the day this is a class and this is my grade, I’d rather do something more impressive than easy, but I don’t want to overdo it and then suffer because I did more than I could handle. I know exactly what scene I’d do. Master shot outside a venue of the feet of all the peopl waiting to get in, that then goes through the back doors, passes bouncers, goes inside, then  I’m thinking I’d do it where my theater company holds its residence, and I’m sure they’d allow me to do it.

I’m forcing myself to know by AT LEAST this sunday, I have to decide because if I don’t I’d be working in two separate ideas and weighing things out, making my energy and work become split instead of perfecting the one. Yes things can change, but whole concepts can’t. I really would be throwing away time and energy. I know not being able to go back is gonna kill me, but also I know that tbh I could. I’ll keep you guys posted.

Our Time is Running Out. Haha get it... cause that's what it feels like. Haha.
