With "Pirate Dream" I had let my resources drive the story. I had the Hinnen family, their street and all of their pirate gear. That seemed a no-brainer. But I can't do that for every film. What are my resources? What kind of story do I want to tell? Those two questions can't be answered the same for me. I had a great idea I was very excited about but would involve far too many locations and actors/extras. Maybe I'll shoot that one after the first semester.
It will all be done in voiceover since I don't have good audio equipment. That was the only other parameter I was keeping myself to. Eventually, I came up with the idea below.
