PROJECT #5 Experiential Storytelling

(Due week 6)

may group you into pairs for this project!

Think in terms of: Goals, Wants, Needs, Desires, Curiosities, Fears, Virtues and Vices...

Create a story structure that generates an EXPERIENCE, A situation, condition, event, that changes everything!!..some examples?: District 9, Grave of The Fireflies Titanic?, They Live some movies more "moving" than others, yet the characters react to the experience, not just expressing emotion.

IDEAS? a war with new weapons and consequences (bomb), a new technology that isolates people, natural calamity that limits resources, a government takeover that leads to famine...look for springboard ideas that lead to story structure ideas.

REMEMBER, here you are creating the STORY STRUCTURE first, not the characters first.

(1) articulate your story structure and ideas (for example, an invention allows time to go in reverse for some characters, but not for others) Be as creative and imaginative as you can. Describe this story synopsis in one page.

(2)develop the SCENES of your story structure, first through SCENE CARDS, scene cards ,2, then turn the scene cards into a simple storyboard. (you can turn the card over and make a drawing.

(3) create 3 color drawings from 3 selected scenes of your story. Select emotional peaks of the story, and illustrate them. look for ways to talk about the EXPERIENCES of the characters.

(4) present all your materials at the beginning of the next class. Your large Scene Cards, this time can double as story panels, and will be numbered and stuck to the white board.

What to turn in:

-one page Synopsis (per pair) PRINT and INCLUDE in Power Point

-20 scene card /story panels (per person) ACTUAL CARDS

-3 color drawings of scenes (per person) MUST BE ON REAL PAPER (take pic too, and include in Power point file.

Again, you must have hard copies or everything, and real drawings on paper to present to class. You must also take pics of all and include as a Power-point file that you turn into dropbox:
