Studio Day 3 Evaluation:

Today I brainstormed with metaphor, spawning ideas from metaphor which is a different method of idea generation for myself. I also created an idea called 'Old Wounds' based on an image that inspired me. The story involves a man's fear of failure heightened by PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and therfore failing at a job interview after entering and episode of delirium and panic. This idea is very powerful, realistic and relatable for sufferers. Although I am yet to stick to 1 idea that I can develop further I have no shortage of creativity and must trust myself to work toward the moment where I am sure I have found a strong idea that I wish to create as well as possible. I am satisfied but very dissatisfied, but perhaps I am overthinking.
