VISUAL NARRATIVES

If this were a story about my life, it would be a Coming-of-Age Comedy, created by Marc Webb. The story about my life would be light hearted, but also dealing with some issues, both serious and not so serious. It would be set in present day in Duluth, MN. The pace of the story would be a steady, semi-fast pace. The camera work would have direct and clean shots. It would be a story about making life decisions and struggles of everyday life, all the while experiencing strange and awkward encounters in a world both random and unpredictable. In the project, my sister would be played by Emma Watson and Orlando Bloom would play the love interest. In the climax of the story, I would come to the epiphany that life doesn’t need to be taken so seriously, and I do not have to have the answers to everything right now. This scene would feel very much like an “ah ha!” moment and like a huge burden just lifted off your shoulders. The look of the scene would be right before sunset looking out at a still Lake Superior with seagulls squawking in the distant background. The audience would be most surprised by the ending when I jump into lake, not caring about how it’s absolutely freezing and completely nuts to do so. I would immediately run back out and regret it, but at the time it felt like the most liberating thing to do.
