Self Portrait Ideas

It finally hit me what I would like to portray in my self portrait:
the emotional responses to my fears and gratifications.

I believe this assignment is the perfect timing for this point of my life because I feel like my fears control me, and recently my gratifications have given me release to pursue my happiness. I'm not completely sure how this will be executed, but I was wondering if this could be a rhythmic edit of a sort?
Perhaps a parallel action, or just shot-reverse shot if not the case. All I'm attempting to do is create an emotional reaction/understanding within the audience's perception.
It will be really challenging for me not to use anytime of MUSIC musical background, but maybe that could be exposed as another fear of mine. Now that I sit and think about it, this assignment is an oxymoron: I'm exposing my fears within a fear. But filmmaking is more than a fear (most of the time), it's a thrill!
At the moment, I plan on solely using my phone for all recording (sounds, pictures, etc). My phone directly reflects my thoughts, and unfortunately, it's where I spend much of my time anyways (part of the instant gratification era?). I will create a list of my fears and things I enjoy, and then several different ways this could be portrayed. I could attempt at taking three fears, three hobbies, and then several portrayals of each. But that might be too much...
I would like to practice a bit of color correction, so if I have the opportunity to do so, I might try to figure that out. It has a good chance of ending up a bit botched, but hey, this is an experimental class!
