Ideal for projects in the visual arts and narrative writing. Why does the filmmaker hide his characters’ faces? What events from their past aren’t explained? Brainstorm different possibilities and write the missing story. Turn a conflict from your past into a narrative about two opposing characters. Come up with compound words that epitomize the different characters in your story. Use collage to illustrate the scenes in your story.
