I feel like I have so many ideas and no clue how to synthesis them together to make a coherent piece. I have several ideas as far as subject matter. I've been thinking about: Girl Scouts, studying Chinese and Spanish, traveling, paganism/witchcraft/Unitarian Universalism (so religion), being engaged, any of my fandoms (of which there are many), my various college experiences (as in all of the school's I've attended post-high school), and relationships with friends and family.
As far as film form goes, I would like to have images that overlap and/or move over one another. I've thought about filming myself painting various symbols and images then speeding it up, and perhaps reversing it. For either of those things I could include Chinese characters as overlapping text or something that I paint. I've thought about incorporating family pictures, and recording friends and family either just saying my name or talking about me. I thought about singing a song from Girl Scout camp and/or a chant that might be used in a pagan ritual.
Another overarching thematic element I am considering is the idea of choice. It's something that keeps coming up in my therapy sessions so it's something I think about a lot. If this gets incorporated I could also bring up the struggles of health and taking care of myself physically as someone with depression and anxiety, as well as a total sugar addict.
I am so unsure of what material I should focus on and how best to express it.
