Hey guys! Today I had a very revealing conversation that made me realize that I was over complicating things. When I tried to change my story from markers to candles, I dug myself a little rabbit hole that was hard to come out. But now I realized I'm #teammarkersandcalendar
This is how the story will be cut:
Act 1: Yellow, Yellow and Yellow
- introduction to the calendar and the markers
- Margot's yellow days
- emphasize how markers change her day
- emphasize how she doesn't use other colors
Act 2: Yellow ends, enters other colors
- Gets desperate and enters a manic episode
- chooses another color
- lives day on another color
- comes back, decides to choose another color
- lives the other color, gets stressed out
- comes back, decides to choose another color
- lives the other color, bursts out in stress and starts aggressively marking the calendars with the colors left so that they end
- montage of days passing and her marking the calendar
- stops when the colors end, she grabs them and throw them away.
Act 3: Black and White world
- Margot wakes up and she realizes her world is now black and white.
- She looks in the mirror and feels a void inside
- everything is so quiet, it's eerie even.
- she starts narrating with her thoughts
- she notices how the calendar is what was taking over her right to write her own story, and how her need to feel happy all the time felt superficial.
- She burns the calendar and colors fade back into her life.
