On Monday, you will come to class with THREE STORIES.
- Each story should be ON INDEX CARDS ONLY. I will not accept anything else!
- Each story should be 10-12 index cards. NO MORE, NO LESS.
- Each index card should be colored and have refined cinematography work on it!
- Your character and environment designs will change next week, but we (as a class) should be able to look at your artwork and distinctively know where characters are placed in relation to the camera, and the spacing of them in relation to your blocked-in environments.
- DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF ONLY DEVELOPING ONE STORY REALLY WELL, AND THROWING THE OTHER TWO TOGETHER HAPHAZARDLY. If you do, I will make you re-develop the other ones, in addition to what we do next week! =D
- ALSO.... DO NOT DRAW THREE VERSIONS OF THE SAME STORY. THE SAME PENALTY ABOVE APPLIES! =)
- Use the same process for developing your stories further! You will need to redraw and refine the artwork you did in class today, as we've only done some simple sketches so far.
- Start by writing a premise for your story in a single sentence.
- Then write your ending in a single sentence.
- Draw both of these on one(1) index card a piece, writing the scenario on the back.
- you should have two index cards per story.
- Then, add two(2) more index cards. Draw two(2) problems for the characters to face that lead into the ending.
- Afterwards, draw the climax for the story on another separate index card!
- At this point you should have 5 index cards per story.
- Be sure to alternate between stories. Develop them all at the same time to keep your initial ideas fresh. We will have a time in the future where we decide and develop the major story we will use.
- From here, continuing fleshing out parts of the story. You should end up with 10-12 index cards at the end. Each index card should lead into the next with respects to "cause and effect."
- Because (index card 1) happens... (index card 2) happens.
Great job everyone! Good luck with your stories! =D
