2. Introduction
Upon further examination of my short film
screenplay, along with having to take into
consideration certain complications that have risen
around certain scheduling issues, I have made the
decision to simplify certain section of the narrative.
My biggest fear naturally was that what made the
story special to me on a personal level, the
emotional connection and the deep themes being
explored would be lost. Luckily I can say with
confidence that after having spent months
developing the idea and formatting it into a film
that works effectively both on a visual and
storytelling level, I have a clear idea of the key
themes being explored and therefore know how to
implement them and give emphasis through visual
language and other technical and storytelling
elements. My hope is that a simpler story will work
better and help to shift the focus on the aspect of
the narrative that really matter, and convey the

6. If I were to do this project again, the very first thing I
would pay a significantly larger focus on is creating
an outline of the themes being explored from the
very beginning and how they correlate with what is
being presented on screen. As that’s an integral part
of the story, and essentially what base on which it
stands. Breaking down further into each scene, one
must identify the objective along with the theme, the
correlation of which then translates directly into the
visual language. Additionally, I must not forget that
patience is key and ideas need time to evolve and
grow into something more profound and deep. This
is especially important to me since the story is very
personal, and for the most part is not only based on,
but also reflective of my own experiences. It is for
that exact reason why I’ve been reminded through
this process the importance of staying true to
yourself, whilst being constructively critical every
stap of the way.
