What did you like about your image?I like the simplicity and minimalism, while also being able to pay attention to detail, especially on my Robin Williams image, for example in the hair the small changes in colour act as highlights, and show some more texture.What would you improve if you did it again?I would take some more time to add even more details and maybe work on the background some more.

Initial Ideas

Page 22: Jordan-Beeston - Development Pro Forma

Idea GenerationThe ugly duckling is a story about a litter of ducklings, and when they are born they have an odd looking sibling who is made fun of and picked on, however when he grows up he turns into a beautiful swan and all of the others are jealous, this is a very simple story to draw and could even have the animals changed to make the drawing easier, this means I would have more time to focus on some of the other factors such as the detail of my landscapes and backgrounds, rather than putting all of my attention into the characters, the story is simple and is not hard to follow even without narrative.

Deadline

3rd February 2017

Audience

(Think about who you are targeting as your audience. Consider age[5-10], gender[neutral], class[Middle/Working Class], location[England and other English speaking nations] and other characteristics which could define your audience.[Psychographics[Balanced]])

Production Methods

(Explain the methods you are going to use to produce your pages. Show us the thinking behind your decisions for a more detailed response)[I will design the backgrounds first, to give me an idea of where to place my characters and how to animate(position) them, I will give myself a rough outline of the story In order to understand how my backgrounds will look, my characters will follow the same sort of style as the images on my mood board however, I will have to pose them all correctly in order to follow the narrative, I will be using mainly shape tools and using rotoscoping to help with some of my characters to get a better view of all the characters.]

Page 27: Jordan-Beeston - Development Pro Forma

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

The proposal is very clear and concise. It thoroughly explains the production method and provides a clear understanding of the project you are about to take on. You have clearly stated what devices you will use to accomplish the task, such as: A graphics tablet.

I think that the story outline is good, very detailed and clear but it is no different to the original story. It could be loosely based on the story but at the moment it seems like a copy of the original story. The audience section needs a lot more work. It is clear but there is not enough detail to keep it up to the same standard as the other sections. At the moment the audience section only has one or two word answer than a detailed sentence.

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

The idea generation is good, this is because it clearly outlines your inspiration and how you will accomplish the task. The mood board shows some good ideas of the character and some scenes from the original.

Although the mood board show some basic ideas there is not enough detail or pictures to give a clear image of what you are going to make. Try adding some more pictures to outline your general ideas.

Page 28: Jordan-Beeston - Development Pro Forma

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

In the proposal you has spoken about what file he wants to save his work as but also added advantages and disadvantage of using that type of file this helps you know what problems he could come across when saving his work. You have shown me the order of how you are going to produce you work and what audience your book appeals to this allows me to understand what sort of book it could be.

In the proposal I would add more detail to the production and start to talk about what techniques you are going to use. Also in the audience bit I would add more information into why you think these are your audiences. For example in the age part why does your book appeal to ages 5-10?

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

In the mood bored it shows me images of ducks and ponds so lets me know this is what the story is going to be about. In the mind map you have starting to thinking of ideas for your story by talking about the graphics and location.

Overall well done.

I would start to add more to the mind map about the characters to let us understand what characters are going to be in your story. I also would add more to the locations part just to show what location will be in each page or how many there will be. In the mood bored you could add more pages on colour and font. This would show what colours you would want in your story, are they going to be dark or really bright also colour shows if your story is happy or sad.

Page 29: Jordan-Beeston - Development Pro Forma

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

• Good amount of detail on the export format part.

• Brilliant detail in the overview.• You know your audience very well.

• How will you detail your images?• If you are using a graphics tablet put it in the

production methods box. • Maybe put the audience box in full sentences

rather than brackets.

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

You have a clear idea of where you want the story to go and what you want it to look like, this will be helpful as it means you have an end goal for your story. You know the story well so that it helps with the narrative of the book.

• What other stories could you have used?• List of positives and negatives about using this

story• More detail, such as characters in the spider

diagram• Key points in the story as part of the spider

diagram.

Feedback SummarySum up your feedback.My feedback essentially suggests that I need to add more detail to certain parts of my proposal and pretty much the same in the mood board and idea generation.

Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?I agree with the fact that I needed more detail in some sections such as my mood board and some of the idea generation, I could have added some sections about advantages and disadvantages.

Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?

I don’t agree that some sections of my proposal need more detail such as the audience section, I don’t believe that I need any longer than some small sections on the main factors of production, as it is easier to follow and straight to the point, I don’t need an essay on the less than obvious factors on why I should market to 6 year olds rather than 5 year olds.

Original Script

NARRATOR: Once upon a time on an old farm, there was a duck family, and Mother Duck had been sitting on a clutch of new eggs. MOTHER DUCK: It was about time that my eggs hatch!. 1,2,3,4,5,6 ducklings I have!. NARRATOR: But something was not right. MOTHER DUCK: Mmmm, that egg didn`t hatch, and it is bigger than the rest. I don`t remember laying that seventh egg. I wonder how it got here?. Or did I count the eggs wrongly?. NARRATOR: But before she had time to think about it, the last egg finally hatched. A strange looking duckling with gray feathers that should have been yellow gazed at a worried mother. The ducklings grew quickly, but Mother Duck had a secret worry. MOTHER DUCK: I can’t understand how this ugly duckling can be one of mine!. NARRATOR: The gray duckling certainly wasn’t pretty, and since he ate far more than his brothers, he was outgrowing them. As the days went by, the poor ugly duckling became more and more unhappy. His brothers didn’t want to play with him. SIX BROTHERS: Stay away from us!. We don´t want to play with you. You are so ugly, you are not one of us!. NARRATOR: And all the farmyard folks simply laughed at him. PIG, COW, GOAT: Ha, ha, ha, you look so funny!. Where did you come from?. Did you get lost?. Stay away from us, you don´t belong here. NARRATOR: He felt sad and lonely, while Mother Duck did her best to console him. MOTHER DUCK: Poor little ugly duckling!. Why are you so different from the others?. NARRATOR: And the ugly duckling felt worse than ever. He secretly wept at night. He felt nobody wanted him. UGLY DUCKLING: Nobody loves me, they all tease me!. Why am I different from my brothers?. Why?. NARRATOR: Then one day, at sunrise, he ran away from the farmyard. He stopped at a pond and began to question all the other birds. UGLY DUCKLING: Do you know of any ducklings with gray feathers like mine?. NARRATOR: But everyone shook their heads in scorn. BIRDS: We don’t know anyone as ugly as you.

Page 32: Jordan-Beeston - Development Pro Forma

Original Script

NARRATOR: The ugly duckling was not discouraged, and so he kept asking questions. He went to another pond, where a pair of large geese gave him the same answer. UGLY DUCKLING: Do you know of any ducklings with gray feathers like mine?. GEESE: We don’t know anyone as ugly as you. Don’t stay here!. Go away!. It’s dangerous. There are men with guns around here!. NARRATOR: The duckling was sorry he had ever left the farmyard. Then one day, he reached an old countrywoman’s cottage. Thinking he was a stray goose, she caught him. OLD WOMAN: I’ll put this in a hutch. I hope it’s a female and lays plenty of eggs!. NARRATOR: Said the old woman, whose eyesight was poor. But the ugly duckling laid not a single egg. The hen kept frightening him. HEN: Just wait!. If you don’t lay eggs, the old woman will pop you into the pot!. NARRATOR: And the cat said. CAT: Hee!. Hee!. I hope the woman cooks you, then I can gnaw at your bones!. NARRATOR: The poor ugly duckling was so scared that he lost his appetite, though the old woman kept stuffing him with food and grumbling. OLD WOMAN: If you won’t lay eggs, at least hurry up and get fat!. UGLY DUCKLING: I hope someone would love me!. NARRATOR: Then one night, finding the door open, he escaped. Once again he was all alone. He fled as far away as he could, and at dawn, he found himself in a thick bed of reeds. UGLY DUCKLING: If nobody wants me, I’ll hid here forever. NARRATOR: There was plenty of food, and the duckling began to feel a little happier, though he was lonely. One day at sunrise, he saw a flight of beautiful birds wing overhead. White, with long slender necks, yellow beaks and large wings, they were migrating south. UGLY DUCKLING: If only I could look like them, just for a day!. NARRATOR: Winter came and the water in the reed bed froze. The poor duckling left home to seek food in the snow. He dropped exhausted to the ground, but a farmer found him and put him in his big jacket pocket. FARMER: I’ll take him home to my children. They’ll look after him. Poor thing, he’s frozen!. NARRATOR: The duckling was showered with kindly care at the farmer’s house. In this way, the ugly duckling was able to survive the bitterly cold winter. However, by springtime, was all grown up. FARMER: I’ll set him free by the pond!. NARRATOR: That was when the duckling saw himself mirrored in the water. UGLY DUCKLING: Goodness, how I’ve changed. I hardly recognize myself!. NARRATOR: The flight of swans winged north again and glided on to the pond. When the duckling saw them, he realized he was one of their kind, and soon made friends. SWANS: We’re swans like you!. Where have you been hiding?. UGLY DUCKLING: It’s a long story. NARRATOR: Now, he swam majestically with his fellow swans. One day, he heard children on the river bank exclaim… CHILDREN: Look at that young swan!. He’s the finest of them all!. NARRATOR: And he was very happy. THE END
