Alright, so I've fine-tuned my video idea a bit. I want to take away the idea of death, and just make one character leave. I think it'll be easier to work with that without stepping into dangerous territory. Because of that, I'm also changing the relationship between the two characters. I think I want it to be an older/younger sister relationship, instead of just two friends. It makes more sense that they would eventually separate, with college/moving out/ect. I also think it would be a bit more challenging to write for, which will hopefully mean it comes out as a more engaging piece.

I noticed a lot of duality in the gallery. There was the obvious messages with the guns and roses, but there was some real hidden stuff in there. For instance, while the pieces where commanding people to "Obey" some unspecified force, some of them promoted revolution. I found this interesting.

Okay, so I was talking with my dad, and I realized that the documentary I was thinking of doing won't be possible. The budget cuts will be finalized by the end of this month, and that won't be enough time to make a film. So I'm scrapping the idea. Luckily, I had a dream last night that gave me a really good idea...

This being my first year in Fast Forward, my goals are fairly straightforward. I hope to at least get a good handle on the film equipment, and also get better at editing the film. Artistically, I hope to get better at expressing myself through film. I also want to find out what kind of film I make best, and what part of me directly influences my films, so i can make use of that knowledge. If I know what part of me goes into my films, I can work more towards those parts.
