Week 2: Brainstorming Story

In the next week I'll be working on getting a solid story outline for my project, which means I'll be getting a lot of feedback from my peers! To make the process easier I'll be using diagrams like the one I've attached here to show my ideas as clearly as possible.

The goal here is to communicate the feel of the project and get people excited about the idea. It should also be genuine and direct in stating my intentions for what I want to focus on. I've included the central theme (the 'heart'), the elements I'd like to prioritize (the 'wishlist'), the basic 3-act structure of the story so far, and essential questions for planning out the action in more detail. At the bottom are further details that can serve as a jumping-off point for other people to contribute their own ideas. Even if we end up using different tools to facilitate the collaborative process, printer paper and markers help me keep everything organized for my own use. I like the colors!
