MERGING ALL INPUTS AND CREATING A SCRIPT

BLOG 4

Meeting up with Julia was so exciting. We spoke about the project idea and how she would interact. However, for me it was more than that. Meeting someone that can relate with my mother was really impactful for me. How she expressed herself and the gratitude she showed to us by displaying our interest in “her world”.

Reading my mothers blog was really helpful. However, I felt a lot of responsibility about how to do my protagonists justice and reflect their perceptions in my work. How were we going to do this? These doubts remained in my mind throughout the whole process although I knew I had to believe in ultimately succeeding if we followed the process step by step.
