he tells her he was cursed to being until a girl did what ever he bid fora whole night.
Characters
The story features 3 characters, the main girl, the evil stepmother
and the frog/prince. This will be easy for me to illustrate, as there is
little characters.
Location
The first location will be the home of the girl and her stepmother; she
then travels into town looking for the well of the worldsend and
finally the well its self. There is only 3 main locations to this story
makingillustration easier for me later on.
Audience
The story is suitable for a youngaudience, the main character is a girl
so could appealto a youngfemaleaudiencerather then a male,
however with this story I will aim to meet a youngaudienceof both
male and female.
Style
Visually for this story I plan to create a cartoon style story with
suitable illustrations for a youngaudience, the characters and
location will be effectively portrayed in cartoon style.
Adaptation
This story can easily be adapted in a number of differentways, my
first idea would be to set it in modern time, with a younggirlliving in
modern day London. Thefrogis instead a rat and the well of the
worldsend is instead a McDonald’swhere she must usea refillable
cup with holes in the bottom.
I could also change the setting to the future, the setting being space
and the frogbeing an alien frog with multiple eyes, the well is instead
space gunk and instead of a sieve she mustuse a bottomless bucket.
