Panic!!

As I was struggling with the story line, I thought it might be a good idea to have a tutorial with Leonie, who was our Narrative Strategies lecturer. However, this didn't go to plan. She didn't like the idea much, because it was done to death (what hasn't been done to death these days?) and that it was like an NSPCC advert, which I could do if I had the reveal in live action. Also, she brought up the good point that if I want to work in children's television, I need to have a film that shows that I am capable of such work, otherwise the industry aren't going to bother. 

So, Leonie's suggestion was that I start afresh with a simple idea, possibly do an adaptation of an Aesop's fable. 

I began researching Aesop's fables, and had an idea to do an animation about a monkey that cannot share his food. This is when Caroline heard about the meeting with Leonie and recommended that I don't start from scratch, instead just tweak the idea to make it a little less dark. 

So I then had a tutorial with Caroline, who helped me realise how simple and more fun I could make my idea. 

So this is where i'm at: 

Keeping my idea

Making it simple

Making it a little less dark
