Instead, after the daughter slowly defending herself in one of their arguments, I want her to snap back causing the mother to be speechless, like 0_0. Like it doesn't have to have any screaming or over exclaimed anger, just something that catches the mother off guard which causes her to finally realize that her daughter is standing up to her. Then the mother could just scoff and walk away in silence which makes the daughter smile and go right back into painting. And this last painting will include green for growth and purple for wisdom, what shes finally gained, knowing that she's allowed to stand up for what she believes in. A light blue will be incorporated into the art to represent where she started, and how her art expression has changed as shes gained more confidence.
(I feel like talking about these arguments makes no sense but they will be petty arguments about like leaving a dish in the sink, being "too" loud or distracting from her work, making a mess in the room, just small arguments that grow a larger picture that affects the daughter's confidence in herself.)
The short film will end with the daughter hanging up her last painting directly next to the one she first painted in the short film and then a medium shot of a growing smile. Its a very simple ending but it is very effective in revealing the progression in her artistic expression. Because as the film goes on, the subtle changes are not as noticeable as between the few art pieces created compared to putting the first and last pieces together.
I hope to begin filming next week and I plan to take about 2-3 days to film. Editing will take place after each filming session to see if there is anything that needs to be reshot or discarded and replaced by something else.
I leave you with this gif that perfectly depicts how online schooling is making me feel!
