So as I try to brainstorm ideas for my film opening, I got lost in a derailed train of thought. I tried thinking of movies and books that have been really influential in my life, which led me to making a list of suggested movies and books that I had not seen. (commencement of the derailing) By then I had realized, although I admire their movies and ideas I needed something original and creative. So as I'm continuing in my journey of the brainstorm, I think of personal stories of my family and friends. Although they have very interesting lives, nothing really stuck out to me. Then I began to do some introspection. I began to reflect on myself as a musician and how that has caused me to have a different outlook on life. Especially the fact that I play more Romantic era which was the era of ~feelings~ . Composers like Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, and Tchaikovsky influenced me because through their music I have been able to empathize their emotions and reflect it in to my piano playing. This prompted me to open my notes and mindlessly vent the ideas that were bubbling in my head.
Of course it makes no sense and is very redundant. But my mindless idea was out. I chose to leave it and let it sit, because if I were to overthink it I think the idea would have been changed into something else.
