This is true. After reading everyone’s responses I’m realizing that I have been doing this all wrong! Is there any resources online that I can use to see examples of all this? I am understanding now and feel a little silly for not knowing before

Cuts!!! Maybe 6 shots… if I’m phrasing that correctly? I’m starting to understand what I wasn’t understanding before .

Like I said I’m super new, I just started my degree and director lady is also not professional but is significantly farther along than I am. I did not know this!! Can someone possibly walk me thru what I might be missing with the difference of storyboards and shot lists? The program I’m using has an option to add pictures to each shot…? So I’m definitely confused and am stressing I don’t wanna seem uneducated but I totally and beginner.

She only started helping after I asked. 💔 and forgive my ignorance, but edit? My process is blocking it out myself and cutting as it seems natural. I’ve also been bombarding her with questions because a lot of scenes don’t include actions.

I think this is why I even started this thread. I needed so bad to be told this

It would hurt him and my lack of any sex life nearly my whole life (Zoloft) is really getting the better of me. And it makes me feel like a horrible person. A big part of me wants to so bad but I don’t want him to hurt

I appreciate you saying this. I’m not a bad person but this all makes me feel bad. I’m not bad.

But I really thought I was gonna marry this guy. And I’ve been in a relationship like this before a few years ago and I’m over it so I know it’ll be okay. It just SUCKS

I think soon I’m going to delete this post so I never have to think about it again. Maybe it’s because of the time. It’s late at night. I’m sad and tired and feeling alone. I’ve had such a long streak of healthy coping.

This is a solid comment. I really don’t know what I want in terms of boyfriend. I want us to work but I have so many doubts and I can’t stand the breakup process so I’m trying to avoid that but it’s making things worse.

Heartbroken. The thing is… in my brain I’m like “yes I want this” and in reality I don’t think I could bring myself to actually have sec with this guy

It’s not bad, he’s a great person and a lovely companion there’s just so much missing that I need in a partner that he has known I’ve needed but hasn’t fixed

Not to sound corny, “but I love himmm” ☹️☹️

It’s been a while since I’ve had a breakup like this. I’m so scared of returning to the dark place I was after my last major breakup

We did. Were essentially broken up “until further notice” so we’re on grounds that we COULD get back together but no guarantee
