What is a story? For many a story is simply a nice pass-time to just relax and see or hear something interesting, while for others a story can be a major influence on their everyday lives, one that helps them either achieve a new revelation about life and the world around them or to inspire them to do great things. Creating a great story, while challenging, pays in dividends as the innate satisfaction of possibly achieving the goal of helping others grow is one that is too enticing to back down from.
However, given the story in this case has to be at most 2 minutes and serve as a strong hook and introduction to a story, the task of creating a strong opening may prove to be difficult.
The original idea I had for a story followed the day-to-day life of a hitman with sociopathic tendencies as he is diagnosed with schizophrenia during his various escapades to try and ask a girl he likes out on a date. Then we would follow the hitman as he tries to cope with the schizophrenia by immersing himself in his work, initiating a existential crisis in which he truly debates his rationality.
The problem with this idea is how to execute a strong opening that sets-up this story. More to come soon.
