Imagine All These Images

1) Image of him in mirror

When he was looking into the mirror and feeling like a hack, all of these images cover his face and he begins to choke himself. This is actually quite an accurate representation of the feeling I get when I write or act and feel stuck. it's this feeling of not knowing what you're even looking at in the mirror and just wanting to do a better job.

2) Image of car racing toward cliff

While, inherently, an image of fear and negativity, in the context of this movie this image represents anticipation and adrenaline. Sometimes the most dangerous things bring us benefits. He describes this as if it's a usual thing that gives him insight and inspiration. Once you get the blood pumping, it is a lot easier to feel and think and, to White, write.

3) Image of throwing the papers into a hole

After he writes what he considers bad writing, Chel White goes to an image of him, shot from below, tossing the papers into a ditch. We do not like to celebrate our mistakes, especially creative mistakes, and would rather hide them forever. The angle of this shot taken from the perspective of inside the hole makes it seem deep and permanent.
