Helloooo and welcome back to my journey of the portfolio project!! Today essentially marks day 1 of this humongous project which is honestly very exciting but also insanely nerve-racking and intimidating. At this exact moment in time, I'm not entirely sure what story I want to tell with my project. However, I do know that I want it to be a coming-of-age piece. My reason for this is because I want my project to reflect some aspect of my life and how I am trying to figure out so many things all at once because adulthood is getting closer every minute.
There are so so many ways that I could approach this piece in many ways. I could go for a more comedic opening or a more dramatic one. Because I'm not sure about the exact story of my project, I'll get back to you on that one...
A few classes ago we learned about the different types of openings, which you can see in my notes below.
Based on this, I know that I want to focus on developing character. I know that I want the conflict of the piece to be character vs. self no matter the story I decide to tell. I'm not entirely sure that my story is going to be interesting enough to make it into an opening, but here is my current idea:
I'll be the main character and as I said previously, I want it to be based on some part of my life. Right now I hope to pursue my sport, taekwondo, professionally, but I don't know if it is possible because the past year has been full of injuries for me and set me back who knows how far. I also want the main character of this opening to be struggling with a similar situation.
If I decide not to stick with my current story, I think it might be more interesting to possibly take a more comedic approach.
Anyhow, thank you for reading today's blog and I will catch you on the next one where I will hopefully have a completed 7-week schedule with all of the things!! Have a fantastic rest of your day!!
