This is my writing table with the beginnings of storyboarding the film.
Some very serious procrastinating was going on this morning. Why? I don´t know. I was up at 7.15 waiting for dawn to arrive to set off for my hike. I got up before sunrise so that I could start earlier on the screenplay. What's happened? Nothing. I got well into procrastinating once again.
Then... at about 11.45, Breakthrough !
How?
I made myself sit down and look at one scene, no more than one scene, it was the intro.
The intro needs to zoom into Hana's studio. This will set the tone of the film and tell the audience the story is something to do with an artist. Maybe we can see train tickets for Paris in her hand. On Hana's easel is a large painting. It's in a style similar to Chagall. It tells the story of Samira's abduction, and Hana's grief. I check Chagall out on line and am reminded he was Jewish, and that he held an unwavering belief in the existence of miracles and in the infinite wisdom of the creator. His life has been described as an Ode to Joy. We share the same birthday!
Oh happy day!
