I finally chose an idea to use for my capstone!
Out of the six treatments I worked on, I made a seventh one and chose that. It helped that I attempted to make at least one draft of a treatment for the six ideas I had. It let me figure out what aspects I liked in each story, and tried to combine that together in one story. This was supposed to be the first idea when I revise it but it changed into a completely different idea of its own.
Comparing the first idea with the other ideas got me to see how clashing and restrictive my ideas were. I wanted something exciting and cool, and I show that in the writing with the idea of a dynamic action animation prompt in mind, and this clashed with the aim of the treatment which was to create a story with a message. So basically it was cool animation vs a meaningful story.
I spent a lot of time working to get the progress so far and I learned how to creatively write again. It was enjoyable and I don’t regret the time spent on it though I do am sad at the speed of my progress. That is okay though since this is all part of the creative process. I will try to adapt the art I have done so far though, if appropriate and if its possible.
