After pitching my idea to the class and reflecting on it, I’ve made a few changes to my project. Before I was mainly just bringing scenes from the book “Looking for Alaska” to life but now I’m simply using the character “Alaska” as inspiration. I’m going to be focusing on the trauma she has from her mother dying and watching it happen. The shots won’t be particular scenes from the book anymore, they will be made up situations that I feel Alaska would be in. To help me think of new shots, I decided to look into trauma and the symptoms of it. From this I wrote words to do with trauma and planned each word to be a different shot. I also very roughly jotted down ideas for each shot. This helped my vision for the series become clearer and helped form more of a plan. I feel happier with the way my project is going but I still feel stressed as my idea keeps changing and location shooting is quite new to me. Hopefully after test shooting I will feel more comfortable with the project.
