Had a small Discussion session with Alan, Today...

I expressed my idea to Alan,
Initially was planing to do the story on the point of view of Charles
But, Alan adviced that i should work from the point of view of the delivery man instead, as it would make the audience curios abt wats happan n tell the comedy easily.

So right now i have to change my storyboard to make it look from the POV of the Delivery man....

The Question and Anwers

1. Who are you telling the story for (primary audience)?
- Teenage- Aged 13 to 19, audeince below this age group might not understand the joke, whereas the audeince above this age group might find the joke a lame.
- Those who enjoys comedy

2. What reaction do you want?
- The stupidity of the Charles.

3. Is the narrative omniscient (all seeing) or restrictive (viewed from a single perspective)?(If the narrative is restrictive, whose viewpoint are you using?)
- Still considering, I might have a third person narative over the animation or, might have charles himself to say the story to the audeince.

4. List the important events of the story.
- Charles planing to go visit his parents oversea
- Him packing himself in to a box, getting his emplyee to sent
- The box going through several security check at the airport.
- The box being very heavy to carry.

5. Which aspects of the setting of the
story are important at the location, as the box travels from one location to another, the tension is build there.

6. What traits of the characters in your story are important and how do you intend to establish these traits?
- Charles is fat n dumb man
- The delivery driver thin and blur

7. In what order are the important events (step 4 above) covered? Is it a strictly linear sequence of events in time, or does the story contain any flashbacks or other interruptions to the sequence of events?
- Still considering out of two choices
1) Will be linear flow without any flashback
2) Charles expressing his Flashback

8. How does the story flow, does the pace change? Does it contain a surprise? Consider your answers to 1 and 2 above when making your response.
- It will be at normal pace at the start, then the tension will be build as the box goes through security check till it finaly reches the desination.
- There is a littlre surprise for the audience and the delivery driver as he comes out to shake hands with the delivery driver.

9. How will you use sound to help all your responses to 5-8 above?
- They will be Voice over narration, some music to build the tension

10. Does your story need dialog? (write out the dialog)
- Still Considering

Day 4

In Moving Images Project 3, we were asked to research 3 or 4 true weird stories, to work for our animation project. I have decided to choose this story out of the few i researched on.

Sent Packing

Charles 25, had four weeks of vacation coming, so he decided to visit his parents. Rather than buying a plane ticket for $320, He, a shipping clerk, packed himself into a shipping crate and air-expressed himself home, charging the fees to his employer. When the crate was delivered to his parents' front step, He pushed out of the box and shook hands with the "shaken and frightened" delivery driver. The driver called the police. After an investigation by the FBI, he was charged as a stowaway, a federal misdemeanor. If he had only waited for the driver to leave, he would have been home free.
