Today in class we go to discuss our projects with the class. This was a very insightful process as I got to not only help others projects but understand the very different writing styles and filming styles. It also helped me to once again become more lost in my story and the path that I want to take with my film. I did however come to a name that I know will guide most of my thoughts. " Por Siempre Tuyo" which means 'forever yours'. The theme of this film has shifted after today. My main goal was to show the beauty in the relationship between two men and differentiate my film from the stereotypical gay films. I don't want to show any strong narrative that portrays negative emotions towards the LGBTQ community, I want to only portray the positive aspects of the relationship. In the discussion with the class my peers gave me multiple new ideas as to where to go with this project, different story lines and different takes on the same variation or emotions. Ana Rubin, who I planned on working with beforehand, gave me a great idea on showing both sides of the story and not keeping it one sided. Which brought me back to an original idea I had to show both sides with different color grading, yet this reverts me back to the ideal of tampering with a closeted relationship and seeing the beauty in that. I still have not reached my final conclusion and I know I need to do so before the end of the week. I need to have a storyboard ASAP but I feel like I'm at a standstill, I creatively cannot decide which story would be more aesthetic, which would be less stereotypical, which story would create ripples in society. I want to change some view points with this film, I just don't know how. I need sometime to think this over.
