Fixing the Characters and adding Backgrounds: BE EXTRAVAGANT

 Fixing the Characters and adding Backgrounds:

 BE EXTRAVAGANT

2020/10/18

This week's post is really late, but that could be because I was directing my short film for Film and TV class. This prompt for this week is be extravagant, which is way I am so late is because I was just planning on fixing up the characters. I fixed the hands of two of the characters, the drill and tool belt of the Builder and the shoes of the Challenger. 

I was planning on just doing that, but then I decided to also start with the backgrounds I will be using in the book. I am planning on making the book a pop-up book, I have to have a background and a floor/ground because I want to make the pop-up book like in the tutorial video by studydiaryofalex.  I also drew a couple of objects and items I want to also make pop-up along with the characters, but I don't have space to write where I will use them so it might look a little bit confusing. I also drew the picture for the stories the Historian is telling, I drew them in a more cave painting way because they will be small in the book and also I want to add the feeling that these stories happened a long time ago. 

Next week I want to work on cleaning up and refining the pictures I drew this week and I also want to build and make the sword, bow and shield for the engagement part of the book.

The Final Product: The last Blog entry

 The Final Product:  The last Blog entry 2020/11/04 This is the final blog entry. The final product is a pop-up book that is meant to teach and help children to find courage. The book provides this by having three guides teach them and they also have Evan the knight to lead them to each guide.  There are five guides: The Priest, The Historian, The Challenger, The Odd One and The Builder. All five characters have their chapter and stay there. Evan is the only loose character, to make it feel like that he is actually going with the readers and listeners on the journey. The ending leads them to Fear where everyone must work together to defeat him.  The listeners are given weapons to help them join in and feel like they are a part of the story and to help them engage with the story. There are also little notes to help the parents engage and help their children follow the instructions and the activities correctly.  The book has "paper poles" and clips to help keep th...

 Start to assemble  the book:  DO WE NEED HOLES? 2020/10/30 This week I started with assembling the book. This week's prompt from the brief is "do we need holes?"  The answer is no. I was planning on putting in ring binders, but decided to just stick the pages together with clue.  I wrote in my previous blogs that I was planning on making it pop-up and I did. I found a good video by  studydiaryofalex (2012), who has an amazing tutorial on how to make an easy pop-up book (link in list of sources). I used the backgrounds in my  fourth blog.  This week I started assembling the book, I started by printing out the backgrounds, buildings and characters. Then I started to cutting them out. After that I started putting in the buildings and some of the objects in with the background they go with. The writing, characters and other objects will be added  and will be shown in my last blog next week. I followed the steps shown in  studydiaryofalex's ...

The First Stage of Making the Creative Product  Courage! 23 September 2020 Fig. 1:1 Ink Mess Starting Point In the  Ink Mess Starting Point I see a person who has lost courage and has given into fear. I decided to create a product that helps people learn what courage is and how to become courageous and also how to help others build up their courage. I thought long and hard on how to go about this and my only idea is to help teach this to people at a young age.  I am going to try and make an interactive children's book. I started doing research on how to teach children about courage. This week I just started to write a brief outline of the story and hand wrote them. I am still planning out how the book is going to be interactive and the book's layout. The ideas I have so far is to make notes for the parents reading the book to their children on how they can help and also what the instructions are for the activities to teach their children about courage. I will also include...
