After submitting a script for my fiction, which wasn't even related to my final idea, I realised that it is quite hard and tough to make a script about an animation, specially if there is no voice. After having a tutorial with teacher Helen, we agreed that a much better thing to do was to make a storyboard. In my case a storyboard itself was taking me too long and my entire project, having also the whole editing of Digital News as well, was giving me so much work that I decided to create the video in own way. For that I started with drawing and sketching the scenarios in which the characters would develop the story and with that start designing all my animation.
In order to create and start sketching and designing all the backgrounds I needed to make sure where all my story was going to take part and for that I started to develop it. Having taken into account teacher Helen's ideas and advices, the story originally was going to be all happy and the story of a girl in love, but since the poem is a World War poem and the ending of it is quite sad, teacher Helen mentioned me that ideally I should have a sad ending and that is exactly what I worked on. I decided to keep the love story, but with a sad ending, killing all Disney clichés and giving it a different twist. The whole idea started moving around what to do with my male character, which I also needed to give a role. At first he was a doctor, then a soldier and in the end he was just a businessman. At the beginning I wasn't exactly sure of what to and I decided to go for it and just kill him. The question was now, how was he going to die in my movie?? Many ideas came at first, from getting old, disease, being shot, etc. Finally my decision was to kill him in an airplane crash. As he is a businessman and travels, the idea was that in one those trips his plane crashes, where he would die.
After setting up the most important bits for my movie, I decided to fully develop my story which was this one:
A girl would start at beginning of movie in real like, Sophie, she sad and trying to carry on with her life. Turning on a candle and with a girly room, Sophie was to grab her computer in which she will play a song that reminds her of David, the man she engaged with. The song is to be one I composed, which is the way I am to introduce it to the video. After that she will start to stare at the screen a little bit sad as she is remembering and she will start seeing the animation on her computer screen, which is not really there, she is just imagining it. The animation is going to be the story of her and David from the moment they meet till the moment he dies. She being a scientist in her lab, him being a businessman in an interview, both of them leave their respective buildings and bump into each other in front of a cafe. As they see each other they realize it is love at first sight. He apologises with her and invites her for dinner, which she ends up agreeing with. After that with see her back home in her bathroom all excited about this moment like a girl in love, as David goes to the shop to buy some food to cook her. He arrives at her place to pick her up, but she is not even ready. Panicking like a normal girl would, she rushes into getting a nice dress and goes out with him. He takes her home and in the kitchen they just realize that they are both in love with each other and do not waste anytime and that is when he just goes for it and jumps towards her. After a couple months of them going out and already together, I show a couple scenes of them doing things like running on the beach, being christmas time, just shoring that the time has been passing by. One day at the park he asks her to marry him and she says yes. After such happiness, she takes him to the airport, where he takes a plane and that is where he crashes and dies. She get the news and we see her crying in from of the police station. With her crying, we make another transition back to the real world where she is upset. Closing her computer, she reaches towards her pillow where she keeps the tie he was wearing the day of his death, which she obtains thanks to the police. She keeps it in order to remember him every day and night. She starts playing and touching it which then she takes towards her chest and smiles, showing that remembers him in a good way and the love she has for him. For the ending she stands up and blows the candle which will cut to black.
