What did you like about your image?
The First Image used gradients and bevelling
well in order to make he image look 3D,
whereas the 2nd image used a low poly look with
no gradient for a unique look.
What would you improve if you did it
again?
I would have used a face image for both which
was centred so I could use symmetry to my
advantage

Rotoscope

Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I highlighted more subtle parts of his face by
using the polygonal vector tool to add a
lighter colour to areas where I felt it was
needed
What would you improve if you did it
again?
I would change the look of the eyes and
surrounding areas, I felt it was far too dark
than what it should have been.

Film Quotes

Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I highlighted the martini to show what the
quote was referring to, whilst still keeping the
character relevant in the image.
What would you improve if you did it
again?
I would use more adventurous fonts which
could summarise James Bond better.

Text Based

Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
For the first, I liked how I showed of tracking as
well as warping and perspective.
For the second, I liked how It used outer shadow
to keep a 3D look with the text wrap enabled.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would use a different font, potentially a bigger
one with more curves, to make it less plain.

Comic Book

Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I liked how it used threshold to create a look
which kept only the green of the bottle and
the colour of his skin, it looks really good.
What would you improve if you did it
again?
I would have darkened out the tone of his
skin a little more in order to focus more on
the bottle.

Story Overview
The story is about a man who is materialistic and looking to marry, he instead of looking
for his woman with the perfect personality for him, marries a girl who isnt short of any
cash. He marries this lady and uses her for all she has, when she is diagnosed with a fatal
condition, her husband sees the chance to rob her and leave her. When she does
eventually pass, he does everything he can to cause a cover up, and at the crack of midnight, buys a shovel and digs up the grave which she had been contained In, along side
her were her most valued possessions, which were conveniently the most expensive out
of the lot. He strips her of her jewellery and sells it the next day, however her spirit is
aware of what has happened, and seeks vengeance.

Production Methods
In order to make the book appeal to my target audience, I will be
using roto-scope to design my pages. I can also use techniques that
includes shapes to make my characters take on a cartoon like
fashion. I could also use photography to tell the story,

Audience
My target audience would be that of many children based products: The
parents. After research using the service YouGov Profiles I have found that
typically, this is female aged 25 39, main interests of this type of person
include Parenting, Family Time & Cooking. I will have to appeal to this
audience, in order for my book to reach its final destination, being children.
The actual intention of this product as said before is for children aged
around 3 6 who are interested in topics such as fantasy stories, there is no
specific gender I am aiming for either.

What are the strengths of the proposal?

What areas of the proposal need further work?

The proposal is very clear and gives a good image

of what the story is likely to look like. It is clearly
well thought out and structured. The story is
descriptive and easily imaginable. I like how the
parents have been considered as target audience
as it is the adult that would buy the book for their
children.

The detail about the book appealing to parents is

brilliant but it would be good to include why the
book would appeal to little children too. The
production ideas are well planned but perhaps
could go into a little more detail of the effect using
those methods will have.

What are the strengths of the idea generation?

What areas of idea generation could have been

further developed?

The planning progression is clear and its easy to

see how the idea has developed. The mind map is
very detailed and it is evident that many ideas and
variations of the story were considered based on
the age of the target audience and the length of the
book. The mood board has a very clear theme and
gives a sense of the desired style.

More images in each mood board would be good

to show the style of the characters and the setting,
maybe with some examples of this style from an
existing story book.

What are the strengths of the proposal?

What areas of the proposal need further work?

The proposal is very good as it looks like you have

taken a lot of time with it and have laid out your
idea in a easy and understandable way.
I like how you have put a lot of thought in to what
you are saying as you have detailed the production
methods, the audience, and your story clearly.

Maybe make you story outline a bit smaller as I

think it doesn't need to be that long as you are only
discussing the outline story also you talk more
about why I would appeal to kids that could be
expanded a bit

What are the strengths of the idea generation?

What areas of idea generation could have been

further developed?

It seems that you have put time in to your mind

map

The mind map is very hard to read there's no idea

generation slide going into detail about your other
ideas and there is a significant lack of images in
your mood board maybe add some more images
and it will be ok

What are the strengths of the proposal?

What areas of the proposal need further work?

The story you have chosen is original and I have

not heard this before so it would be good for your
chosen audience. The use of YouGov is good as it
shows how detailed your research is for your
audiences age, gender etc.

Does the story have an end after the dead wife

seeks vengeance? If so it would be good to add
the ending into this.

What are the strengths of the idea generation?

What areas of idea generation could have been

further developed?

The mind map is very detailed, although I cant see

it, I can see a lot of work went into this. It was well
planned out.

The mood board isnt detailed enough, it needs

more photos around the idea of your book, also try
putting in some pictures of a rotoscope picture, to
give us an idea on what the book will look like, as
you put in the proposal that using rotoscope is the
main art style you are going for. Did you have any
other ideas before getting this final idea?

Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
My Feedback overall was overwhelmingly good, the positives and
negative mostly gave me an idea on what made it good, and what
could make it good, which I really value.

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

I agree with the statement written in the first slide saying The detail
about the book appealing to parents is brilliant but it would be good to include
why the book would appeal to little children too. It really allowed me to think
about how focused I was on parents, not the actual audience.

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

I dont agree with the statement on the second slide which claims that
the mind-map isnt readable as it appears that the person In question
didnt actually zoom in as intended, however I will now take on board
the issue that maybe it wasnt clear enough.

Original Script & Broken Down Script

Broken Down Script:
1. Our male protagonist is looking for a wife
2. Instead of looking for his true soul mate, he finds a rich lady
3. He chooses to marry her in order to manipulate her from her wealth
4. The lady is diagnosed with a terminal illness
5. She eventually passes in her sleep
6. The funeral comes and goes, then he returns and digs up the grave
7. He is haunted for his actions by the spirit of the dead lady.
8. In order for it to stop, he burns all the jewels and his own possessions in hope that it ends.

Original Script
Here was once a man who travelled the land all over in search of a wife. He saw
young and old, rich and poor, pretty and plain, and could not meet with one to
his mind. At last he found a woman, young, fair, and rich, who possessed a right
arm of solid gold. He married her at once, and thought no man so fortunate as
he was. They lived happily together, but, though he wished people to think
otherwise, he was fonder of the golden arm than of all his wife's gifts besides.
At last she died. The husband put on the blackest black, and pulled the longest
face at the funeral; but for all that he got up in the middle of the night, dug up
the body, and cut off the golden arm. He hurried home to hide his treasure, and
thought no one would know.

Original Script
The following night he put the golden arm under his pillow, and was
just falling asleep, when the ghost of his dead wife glided into the
room. Stalking up to the bedside it drew the curtain, and looked at him
reproachfully. Pretending not to be afraid, he spoke to the ghost, and
said: "What hast thou done with thy cheeks so red?"
"All withered and wasted away," replied the ghost, in a hollow tone.
"What hast thou done with thy red rosy lips?"
"All withered and wasted away."
"What hast thou done with thy golden hair?"
"All withered and wasted away."
"What hast thou done with thy Golden Arm?"
"THOU HAST IT!

Draft Script
1. Once upon a time, there was a busy town called Childer-land with a man named Matthew. Matthew was 24
years old and was looking to marry his love named Jesse.
2. Jesse was Matthews true soul-mate, he had loved Jesse for years and had recently asked to marry him, she
answered with yes. However, Matthew recently spotted someone else, who had lots of money, walking down his
street, and from the day on, he has ignored his soon to be wife.
3. He eventually breaks up with his true soul mate so that he can marry the lady with lots of money called
Jordan. Matthew and Jordan fall in love together (at least, she thinks). They move in together and live in a big,
old house. He then asks her to marry him and she says yes.
4. After their marriage, Jordan falls ill, and must be taken to hospital. When she wakes up in her hospital bed,
she is told that she is very ill and only has a few hours left; she is devasted, Matthew, is not.
5. As Jordan began to pass away in her sleep, Matthew screamed a joyous laugh, as he was now the richest
man that the land would ever see.
6. Jordans funeral comes and goes as fast as the wind blows, but at the crack of midnight, Matthew returns to
the hole that holds his fortune. However little does he know, someone is watching him, watching his every move
7. Matthew walks home with a clattering noise coming from his back, He is greeted home with a ghastly
welcome "What happened to your rosy red cheeks? he said to the ghost. They withered and were wasted away,"
replied the ghost. "What happened to your red rosy lips? he asked. "They withered and were wasted away. she replied.
"What hast thou done with thy golden hair? he enquired. "They withered and were wasted away. she answered. "What
happened to your riches? he said. She paused and began to scream: YOU HAVE THEM!
8. He runs as fast as he can to the living room and burns all the gold, diamonds and silver and hopes that the ghost will
stop scaring him, she nearly catches him before she fades away and the ghost stops, Matthew then went back to find
Jesse and asks her to move in with him, and she said yes! And they all lived hapilly ever after.
