Again
Again. Again it comes. Sometimes it goes. My restlessness catches up again. I pity myself, my life. Is 23 supposed to be like this? I never thought I be so cynical and desperate yet. I feel lost. My writing is done. I thought of a very french darkness in the script. To build up a character and destroy it. And to destroy one and rebuild it. To have three seperate arcs...moving simultaneously with one contrasting could prove to be fantastic. My mind has blinks sometimes. I think my loss of creativity is a loss of feelings. I have no ups or downs. Something else. I think tomorrow night, after a hard Thursday, I'm going to ride somewhere to sit and think of story ideas. What? That never works. Its the creation when it happens. I could work on story progression for my current work. Where am I?
I have almost my first act. The loss guy should have more "umph" in his story. Make him more of an alocholic. Make him a loner. Find a way to make him more believable. 2nd guy, needs to be LESS cynical and more human. More believeable. Think of movies that have teenagers in them and watch them. Add more depth to them. I'd like to stray from stereotypes of High school kids. 3rd guy, make him more romantic. More suave. Have him sweep a woman off her feet with music. Think of something sexy. Have him sing too. Think of an old jazz singer. An updated silent and seductive. Maybe a different style for each. A very mise en scene for the third character. A French noir type. Watch some Renoir and Truffaut and study them. For the first character, go for a grittier and shakier look. Paul Newmon in The Verdict. He was a great washed up alcoholic. There's lots of them. For the second, lets have a surreal image. Think of Science of Sleep falling into Eraserhead. Think of imagery creating ideas rather than words doing it. Think of dreamscapes and dream logic. Think of love.
My story is falling into structure and you know how I feel about structure. And overall feel for the movie would work. Let's keep the edgy flashy stuff to itself. Create a great story and let the medium embellish it. That's what it is there for.
