Point of View. I am going to tell my story from my own point of view, from my current perspective as an adult.
Dramatic Question. I am going to frame my dramatic question around my role as a counselor and support system for troubled or at-risk students. I strongly believe that I am able to empathize and effectively engage with youth because of my own troubled childhood. My question is going to be something similar to "My childhood was not always ideal, but I have been able to use my struggles in surprisingly positive ways".
Emotional Content. The emotional content of my story will focus on addiction and mental illness, and how these things can change the life of a child forever. It's not easy to be open about this subject matter, but I realize how integral these experiences were to shaping who I am today.
Voice. I plan to use an informal voice throughout the story to help my viewers/listeners relate better. I will also focus on not speaking too fast, as I sometimes can do.
Soundtrack. This part is especially important to me, and I have some ideas for songs, or parts of songs, that I want to use to emphasize the emotional content of the story. Music is my life, so this part is going to take a big chunk of my time as I complete my story.
Economy. My script will be short and to the point. I would like to focus on visuals to create more emotion and connection to the story rather than make it wordy and cumbersome.
Pacing. I mentioned above that I plan to monitor my pace. I can talk fast at times, especially when I am nervous. I always get nervous when I am completing large projects.
