Week 2-5 summary

Sorry i've been very forgetful lately and been forgeting to write summary.

Week 2

In week 2 I've finally finished my syopsis and treatment, And started my shot list. At first i had trouble with the ending but i talked it through with the lecturers and came up with a conclusion in the end.

Week 3

In week 3 i was able to finish of my first draft of my shot list, also i did some concept art for my characters. After showing my shot list to my lecturers they suggestested that ill add more shots and differant angles.

Week 4

In week 4, i was able to finish my final shot list, and start my first draft of my script. I couldnt do much more, because i had to finish off other assignments.

Week 5

In week 5, i got my first draft script done, and showed it to all my lecturers, now i just finish my second draft.

Some more inspiration

Hrmm i was thinking of changing my setting from a jungle to a bambo forest. Since a bambo forest is more simple yet i am able to hide some monsters and creatures in the trees.





Below is the Joker in Batman's suit,as you can see the artist made a 3d model with with textures that maded the character look 2d, this is simular to what i want to achieve.

Treatment

Treatment

A portal opens up and a man falls out of it and into a jungle like world. He gets up feeling dazed and confused, he opens his eyes and realises that he is not where he is supposed to be and starts to panic for a bit. Soon he calms down and starts analysing his surroundings and realises that he see what seems too be an edge of a comic boarder and tries to push out of it but fails. Soon after he is attacked by a humanoid like creature with snake like fangs. The creature pins him down and punches him, making the man scream, which makes a speech bubble pop out impaling the creature, the man gets up and punches the creature through a comic boarder. He grabs the speech bubble and starts to experiment with it and soon he realises that he can move between panels. After experimenting, he realises that he can’t escape. Soon he calms downs, and lies down on the floor, while lying down he realises that he hasn’t tried flying in the sky. He starts to think of an idea which causes a thought bubble to appear above him, which makes him float for a bit, before popping. He starts using thought bubbles as a floating platform to jump on to reach the sky. After reaching the sky he bumps into the edge of the comic and soon he starts to punch his way out into his world.

so far i am quite happen with the story, but there are some plot hole when he is experimenting with world, its just seem a bit random to me, but i guess he needs to do it so he can know the bounderies of the world.
