School work again.
Feb. 7th, 2008 09:01 pmSo, if our teacher had been healthy, today i would have done my story pitch. But seeing as he is not, I rushed and panicked for nothing...
And thus was left with all these little drawings and no one to show them to, so you guys get tortured once again! Aren't you lucky? Well, I actually turned them all into one big drawing with text so that you can follow along...but really, because I didn't get to do the pitch and get opinions from classmates and teachers, I figured I'd see what you guys thought of it. This is just the really rough basics of the story, so feel free to ask questions, state opinions etc. I'm going to consider this a test run for when I do have to present it.
And I apologize for the quality of the drawings as they were rushed and done completely with a ball point pen. Also, let me know if you can figure out what time period and where it takes place.

Not as cheerful as what I normally do, but I guess it kind of gives you an idea of the kind of mood and mind set I've been in lately. . .

Anna didn't try and contact her daughter because she knew she wouldn't respond. Kids were fed a mixture of opium and alcohol to keep them quiet and thus I don't think the little girl really understood where she even was.
Her recognizing her daughter, will be one I need to think about more carefully it would seem. And I don't think Anna actually believed the girl would have survived this long. Maybe death had something to do with her seeing her daughter...and that gives me and idea...will get back to you on that one.
And the crazy woman is Anna's mother, so I think I can tie in Anna's reaction to her daughter and death having some part in making her see her just as she dies and make it work. Will have to play with it though.
Death or the Coachman will end up being the comedy relief. It's just trying to pin down the 'boys' into one solid character to use as a villian. . .
But thanks for going over it!
