Film Concept
The Ladder Project Drama Currently I am starting to put together the construct of my story and the characters themselves. So far I have my main protagonist Dee who is on a journey of self discovery and independence of self. She has various obstacle such as her mother who care little to nothing about her daughter future Easton High school an over populated and under funded high school where Dee is one in a million And the low poverty area in the city where she was raised, does not push her any closer towards pursuing her dream of attending college due to financial stress. This is the starting foundation of the story and soon to be fleshed out and given more detail.
Joseph Campbell
Joseph Campbell discovered how the world tells stories. Ever story almost always has a hero, someone the audience can relate to and feel a connection with instantly. Campbell also found the structure on how we tell stories with a beginning, middle, and end. The foundation of stories from across the world all had the same construct and foundation. Below is a video to put it all together! https://youtu.be/Hhk4N9A0oCA

Creating stories through music
I create my stories through songs; songs help me create my characters and the ideal story I want to create. However theses songs are mostly film scores and old music I found through film.
