Openers

Exercise 1A:

Leonard walks towards the box shakily and beads of perspiration trickle down his forehead. His hand trembles as he walks in a staggering manner towards the sealed box. His heart palpitating with terror, as every eccentric moment passes. Leonard looks down upon the unopened box, fearing the worst. His sweatalms swipes through the rough surfaces of the cardboard box as it lays motionless. The box was all muddy and soaked. Then, a strong gush of wind slams the door shut behind him. He turns and gulps down his fears. Frantically, he reaches for the lid of the box and as he slowly opens the box, a foul smell erupts from the opening. Leonard holds his breath, closes his eyes and rips open the lid. He opens his heavy eyelids and to his dismay, his worst fears were confirmed. It had a red pool of blood with a hand, which he so often held in his hands.1A: Leonard walks towards the box shakily and beads of perspiration trickle down his forehead.

Reflection

Hmm… Let’s see… I think it’s quite a fun module to be taking??.. Thinking that I can daydream all day just to wait for a story??… And it’s just something which I think is quite important as a filmmaker.. And being in the whole Entertainment Industry, it’s always been the coolest thing to start a whole new story… And ohh… Maybe I did have a flair for telling stories (thanks to Secondary school life where I’ve got to tell LONG tales that are convincing to the teacher why I wasn’t in class)…=)

Form a story from my friend’s openers: Dionel

As the midday sun stares down at me mercilessly from the cloudless sky, I sit on the uneven bench. The park is a lovely place to be on a hot day like this, the dogs barking, the birds flying, the trees rustling their leaves like a symphony band. Not knowing of what is to come, I gaze into the sunlight, blinding my vision. Just then, my phone rings. By the time, I finish the call, I have change from an unknown man sitting on the bench, to the most wanted man in America. How did this all happen? This is my story, for my name is Gucci. Benjamin Gucci.
