New possible idea?

So I know that there is no way I am leaving the house anytime soon. Due to this, it has forced me to think of new ideas that are plausible inside my own house. So today is when I had an idea. I remember that one of the suggestions my teacher gave me was to never write about something you have no experience with. So I have had several ideas where I have decided not to go through with because I have no personal experience having any of these feelings and it would be wrong of me to misrepresent them. So I like this particular idea because it is something that I identify with and I am pretty sure many others can too.

This month of April I am going to be turning 18 years old. What that number means universally to almost everyone is adulthood. Legally it means you can buy a lottery ticket and it means you are old enough to buy a hamster but none of that is very important for what I want to focus on. Although, being 18 can give you many freedoms it can also seem like many things are being taken away from you. At least that is the experience that I am going through right now as it comes closer to my birthday. I have also spoken with a couple of my other friends who also have felt this sense of panic as they turned 18 because they felt as if their childhood was being taken away from them and because they felt overwhelmed by new responsibilities.

So as I have recently discovered the art of experimental film I thought maybe I could express this sense of panic in this way. I picture a girl (because I have no real willing actors but myself in my household) waking up on her 18th birthday and experiencing this panic throughout the day. In the beginning, I do not want to outwardly express in any way that it is her birthday but I simply want to put together a representation of her panic through sounds, visuals, and even graphic matches. I want to end the film by showing her blow out candles in the shape of the number 18 to bring the whole film full circle and convey the reason behind her panic. I know that this is something I deeply resonate with so I hope I will be able to express it through my film.
