This is just the beginning......

My Idea

     Yesterday's class was definitely a lot to take in. At first, I wanted to work with a group but everyone I asked already had one or wanted to work individually. That scared me because that meant I would have to get out of my comfort zone and work by myself on a big part of the media exam. After lots of thinking I had three ideas for a film opening. One was called Broken rules, Wheres dad?, Moved, and The Change. I picked The Change. 

    The ideas I have for this project are great and I can't wait to get started. A summary of the opening will be about a normal teenage girl getting ready for school on a beautiful day. She listens to her music and does her usual routine, but as she gets into her car she gets a message from her mom saying to answer the phone. She answers the phone confused and worried. As it goes silent for a moment she screams and drives off fast. It leaves a question for the audience asking "what did her mom say?" and "Why did she scream?".

     I wanted to talk about why I picked this story and how I actually experienced this. When I was in kindergarten I got into my mom's car with my brother and sat in the back. I was happy and I was trying to talk to my mom about how my day went but she told me to be quiet. She seemed pretty confused while she was speaking on the phone. For a moment it goes silent and I hear my mom scream like no other. To this day that scream will always be remembered because that was the scream of my mom finding out my dad was injured in the line of duty. That one moment changed my entire life. My dad a police officer, had been involved in an incident and he suffered a traumatic brain injury and he had died. my father's heart had ceased beating and no brain activity was detected.

    My dad was saved by grace and upon his return, he was in a coma for 6 weeks.  When he woke up I couldn't even go see him. He couldn't speak English only Spanish, it was like he was a baby again. His behaviors were awful. After group homes that were local then due to his behavior caused by his injuries, he was sent to a rehabilitation/group home all the way in Tampa and lots of doctors. At this moment he is better than ever and is the best dad.
