Day 04

Apparently, we didn't do much today. However, we were informed that there will be a presentation on both Wednesday and Thursday. By Wednesday, we are expected to produce the storyboard, character designs, photo reference, research plan and also the learning contract.

Well, I wasn't too sure if my story could work so I approached Alan. We had a good laugh during the consultation. He asked me whether I knew what Derwin Awards was. I have to admit I wasn't too sure till he says that it is the award for someone who dies in a most spectacular and ridiculous way. I am really not sure if the 'victim' would be happy to receive that award though.

Alan suggested that I could make it as though it is promoting a particular product which I answered- the GPS. I found this idea to be out of the box and creative as I believe my audience wouldn't expect it to be promoting GPS. Another suggestion was to make the priest looks so stupid that really makes him appear that he deserves the Derwin Award. Having to juggle both ideas; I thought why not I combine both.

Basically, I will make the priest look dumb and stupid where he will have this innocent look as well.

I have edited abit of the 10 questions.
So here goes:

1. Who are you telling the story for (primary audience)?
-Young working adults to Adults (ages 23-45)
-People who have no/bad sense of direction
-Hunters / Travelers

Mainly the working class people; who are able to afford a Global Positioning System phone.

2. What reaction do you want?
I want my audience to purchase the GPS and also feel the need of having it. Making them realize the importance and also the benefits of having a GPS in their phone whenever they are lost or out in an unfamiliar land.

3. Is the narrative omniscient (all seeing) or restrictive (viewed from a single perspective)?
Omniscient (all seeing) as I want them to feel how the priest is feeling, hence being able to relate to them if they were to face a similar situation.

4. List the important events of the story.
-Showing his desire to publicize the building of spiritual rest stop
-His vision in seeing his desire coming true
-Priest being kia-su, equipping himself with many gadgets
- The wind sweeping off his course
-Had GPS, but didn’t know how to operate it
-Facial expression of priest being panicky; praying to God
-Balloons scattered everywhere; body found floating on ocean
-Picture of GPS phone appears
-Tag line: “Heaven can wait. GPS; the best solution to stay on Earth.”

Yes, dialog is needed.
Crowd cheers: " Father, have a safe trip ahead ya."
Sam: " Father, i really hope your wish will come true."
Priest: " Sure it will. I'm so well prepared; just wait and see for my good news."

Wind Changes
Priest: "Oh my god! Why the sudden changes?!!"
Priest calls someone
Priest: "AHh! Can you hear me? I am stuck on the air. Can you help me down!!"
Operator:" I think so."
Priest:" I almost forget,I have a GPS"
Operator:" Oh, that's good. So tell me where you are now."
Priest:" Hmm.. not sure not sure."
Operator:" What do you see?"
Priest: " I see the ocean and some trees."
Operator piss off abit :" Please be more specify."
Priest:" Oh. I saw a boat. A red boat very nice one."

Operator thought it was a prank. *Slams Phone*

Priest: "WHAT THe..."
Priest:" God please help me. You are my only hope now. I promise to serve you later. Just rescue me!"
