Since we had class yesterday we were able to come up with the final topic as you know if you read my last blog and we also came up with a rough very rough plot line of what we want to show at the beginning, middle and end. Let me show you…
Beginning:
· main character as a little kid enjoying the sport (practice, smiling, laughing)
· admiring older gymnasts, olympists, and college athletes
· growing up and continuing to improve skill
· start comparing skill to other gymnasts
Middle:
· starting to not be able to do a skill
· practice outside of gym
· watching others out of anger not enjoyment
· not wanting to go to practice
· struggle to stay positive
· self-deprivation
End:
· giving up on dreams
· parents notice and try to help
· quit to relieve stress
We want to show how you grow as a person in the sport and how everything becomes more difficult as you go. The beginning is all about the main character as a kid enjoying gymnastics, seeing herself in the future accomplishing incredible thing and just growing up in the sport. However, as you grow into the sport it is when negative mindset and all the pressure takes over, this is the part when the sport is not fun anymore and it becomes self sabotaging in a way. Now the ending is a little in the air right now because we don't know if we want to end it with her quitting the sport and show that she is happy now which we would do that with showing her with dull colors and then super bright colors at the end or have her overcome this challenge and come out stronger mentally and physically.
The story itself it is about the progression of one person in a sport trying to becomes the best and how that affects a person mentally, physically, and emotionally especially in the sport of gymnastics where you have to be “perfect” all the time.
Stay tunes for more planning blogs but hopefully we can get this part done super fast so we can start recording!!!
