After speaking with Chris today, I was able to better understand how to approach a vignette for my world. He mentioned focusing on exposing my character as opposed to the world, and using the 36 dramatic situations to help brainstorm. He also suggested focusing on action and conveying the story sequence through body language.
I chose to go with themes of longing and melancholy and managed to write a short sequence and I'm currently working on the storyboard and production schedule.
"NOON is sitting around a fire with LAYLA, Layla’s family and some friends. One of the people around her starts showing off their newly bought Daleel. She turns away from that person and her eyes land on Layla who is enjoying her time with her father and sister. She looks to the fire, lost in thought.
She gets up and walks away from everyone else. She moves to a secluded area and looks up at the sky. She removes her earrings then gets up, leaving her earrings and everyone else behind her."
