I want my story to be an inspirational one where students take away the fact that no matter how you start, its always about how you end up finishing. Through revealing tiny aspects of my life that i find interesting, i will reveal the deeper meaning of these things and convey to the audience the life lessons i learned by going through my own experiences. In the first scene of my video project i want to give the audience a little background of my life. Shown in the video will be the town in which i grew up, my mother who has raised me all by herself and i will use this time to emphasize what my mother means to me. As well as my mother my siblings will make a short and brief cameo in my video shown through old pictures of me and them. This is all to give the viewers a little background about my life and this will make the following concepts make even more sense to them. Next i would like to discuss the term "comfort food". As i define the term comfort food i will display the definition on screen for the viewers to see. In the back ground there will be pictures and videos of me as a kid and progressively get older in the pictures until my current age of 20 years old. Growing up in a small town where all you have known is small town life can get be a bit frustrating and even depressing. I will show how comfort food became a huge part in my life and was a coping mechanism for me for most of my life.
Then after the comfort food/ middle school phase i will go into my high school endeavors. In high school i was mocked harshly for being over weight and unattractive. It was also the start of my love for sports and this would carry on to the rest of my life. In the background of this segment will be pictures and videos of me playing sports and have various shots of me in my different sports. I played football, track and field, bowling and trained in Mixed Martial Arts all of high school and still enjoy playing these sports in college. Through putting my body through intense workouts and healthy eating habits, i managed to control my weight and i began to notice that peoples perception of me had begun to change. I wanted to change myself physically and mentally to please myself and change my own outlook on my own life, and at the same time other people began to admire my work ethic and i began to change their outlook on me as a result of my training. I want the reader to know that even in the face of adversity any one can be an underdog story and it all comes down to heart.
The last segment of my video that i want to express to the audience is my love for food. Whenever i am on my phone i always come across some deliciously made food on Facebook or instagram. Food has been a huge influence on my life because i have seen both sides of food. I have seen the ugly side, which is filled with sadness and chocolate. I have also seen the good, which is not only boring fruits and vegetables but great creations that taste as good as they look. One meal i would always love to make is my special salmon recipe that anyone can make at home, with a side of Mashed potatoes and seasoned broccoli. This meal has a lot of sentimental value because i would make this meal every time before a big game or match for energy and good luck. As simple as the dish is to make, its also got so many healthy aspects that everyone should enjoy at least once in their lives. This is just an example of when you set yourself up with a good meal, anything is possible. I will show many camera angles for this scene and will make it n the style of the tasty videos that i see on social media. This includes step by step instructions on how to prepare, cook, and present the food so that this simple and healthy dish can become a staple in your diet, and hopefully impact your life as much as it impacted mine.

Okay, good, I like that you're expanding your idea to encompass other issues around food. It may be that once you start to sit down to create this final piece, you find that your focus falls somewhere between your initial idea, what you've come up with here, and some more thought that will happen in class on Thursday. The idea has substance, so that's an excellent start.
