Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I feel like I made the images well, and they look good,
especially for my first try. I feel the house I designed
was very unique, and then the animal I drew was a
good cartoon version of the real life Red Panda.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would have probably picked an animal which was less
detailed, as the animal I chose has lots of small details
in its fur which is very difficult to incorporate into a
cartoon version of the animal, as seen by the final
result. I would have spent less time on the facial
features and aimed to finish the whole animal first.

Evaluation
I think my Rotoscope image was the best one I created,
as it is similar enough to the original image I used
without it seeming like it is overly edited or not enough
work has been put into the image. It also clearly
presents the same messages in the original image,
which means I made the image with enough detail.
I would take more time to change small parts of his
face and add in extra details, such as facial hair or some
basic shadow elements to add depth to the image,
though doing this could ruin the simplified version.

Evaluation
I like these images because the posters I created fit well
with the film’s theme, and the quotes I chose sums up
the main character in both films, who is also on the
poster, just in a cartooned form for added effect. They
also has the drop shadow effect, which makes it seem
like it is a bigger event and builds the film’s excitement.
I would probably spend more time on choosing a good
font and theme for the posters, and also spend more
time adding detail on the background of the posters.

Evaluation
I like the effect that I chose to incorporate onto the
text, and I feel like it will be very useful for my final
product as I will try and incorporate something similar
into my title or text for my final product in this course.
I would probably work on improving the text styles in
order to make them more unique and to make each
one stand out from the others, creating more contrast.
I would also experiment more with the font styles in
order to find different styles I like, so I can use them in
my final product which is a story book for children.

Evaluation
I feel like I created a very good comic book styled
image, through the use of the filter gallery and its
various different options, which allowed me to make an
image which was originally modern and real, and
transform it into a style which would fit in a comic.
I would probably spend more time on making the
backgrounds look of a better quality, and also mix up
the colours in order to get more of the desired effect
and to make the main subject stand out more clearly.

Evaluation
I like the style of the images I took, as they are all in
focus and clearly present the moods and themes in
each shot within the story. I also used the rule of thirds
‘grid’ in my images, in order to enhance the effect the
images had on my audience and to present the story
and its themes and moods to the audience clearly.
I would probably spend more time on choosing a better
location and story for my photos, as I had to rush them
all in order to get the work completed in time.

Evaluation
I like this image as it has a lot of potential to be used in
a cartoon, and it has enough detail to be used in a
children’s cartoon book. The style is also simple to
recreate and so could be used on many pages of the
book and has potential for many different settings.
I would take more time on the background and the
setting of the image, and also make the character
bolder and take more time when designing the monkey
so it matches the scene properly.

Evaluation
I feel like the images I created, despite being from
completely different environments, are both very good
and could easily be used in my final product. The
background’s feature textures which make them stand
out and ultimately create more detail in the scene.
The main thing I would do to improve them is to decide
on a style that I will use for my final product and then
practise creating narrative environments in that style,
meaning that I will have more experience for my final
product and how well it blends with my characters etc.

Dimensions
11 Pages of 21 x 25 paper
Story Overview
The story will be based on the fairy-tale 3 Little Pigs, except the characters will all be
different, as well as the settings of the story, which will all be suitable for children. The
story will be based on ‘3 Space Monkeys’ who are building their own spaceships after
leaving their family. In a similar fashion to the original story, they all build their own
spaceships in different ways, the first one built is slow, the second is built faster, then
the final monkey spends longer building a ship that is the fastest. The first 2 are playing
in their ships when they find a new planet, where they are chased by an alien in his
own spaceship, who chases the first ship until the monkey jumps into the second ship.
The story progresses like 3 Little Pigs, where the alien chases the ships until the
monkeys are all in the final spaceship as they fly away from the alien until he crashes
into a planet and jumps out of his spaceship and lands back onto his own planet.

PDF File Format
Advantages: Popular File Format which is openable on many devices, smaller file size.
Disadvantages: Once formatted PDF Files are harder to edit then other types of files.

Deadline
My book must be submitted and complete by the 9th June 2017.
Audience
My audience is going to be primarily aimed at children aged 3-6 years old, and both
genders will be attracted to the storyline, though due to the space theme, which is
stereotypically associated with boys rather than girls, it may be more popular with a
male audience. There is not a specific social class for the families I am aiming the
book at, though it will be especially popular with middle class families who prefer
traditional stories rather than branded stories from cartoons on TV and films. The
book will be mainly popular in English speaking places such as Britain, and
potentially the USA, Australia, and other countries like Canada or New Zealand.
Production Methods
I am going to produce my sheets on Photoshop, where I will put in my page
dimensions and then begin to work on each page. Before I start making the story, I
will create all of the characters, the locations, and other aspects of the storyline.
Once they’re all created, I will begin to put them all onto each sheet to start
creating the story, before I then write in all of the speech and text over the pages.
Once I've put in all of the basic character models on each location page, I am going
to change the characters slightly so their poses and expressions match the story.

Original Script
Once upon a time there was an old mother pig who had three little pigs and not enough
food to feed them. So when they were old enough, she sent them out into the world to
seek their fortunes.
The first little pig was very lazy. He didn't want to work at all and he built his house out
of straw. The second little pig worked a little bit harder but he was somewhat lazy too
and he built his house out of sticks. Then, they sang and danced and played together
the rest of the day.
The third little pig worked hard all day and built his house with bricks. It was a sturdy
house complete with a fine fireplace and chimney. It looked like it could withstand the
strongest winds.
The next day, a wolf happened to pass by the lane where the three little pigs lived; and
he saw the straw house, and he smelled the pig inside. He thought the pig would make
a mighty fine meal and his mouth began to water.
So he knocked on the door and said: "Little pig! Little pig! Let me in! Let me in!”
But the little pig saw the wolf's big paws through the keyhole, so he answered back:
"No! No! No! Not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin!” Then the wolf showed his teeth
and said: "Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down.”
So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down! The wolf opened his jaws
very wide and bit down as hard as he could, but the first little pig escaped and ran away
to hide with the second little pig.

Original Script
The wolf continued down the lane and he passed by the second house made of sticks;
and he saw the house, and he smelled the pigs inside, and his mouth began to water as
he thought about the fine dinner they would make.
So he knocked on the door and said: "Little pigs! Little pigs! Let me in! Let me in!” But
the little pigs saw the wolf's pointy ears through the keyhole, so they answered back:
"No! No! No! Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chin!” So the wolf showed his teeth
and said: "Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down."
So he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house down! The wolf was greedy and he
tried to catch both pigs at once, but he was too greedy and got neither! His big jaws
clamped down on nothing but air and the two little pigs scrambled away as fast as their
little hooves would carry them. The wolf chased them down the lane he almost caught
them. But they made it to the brick house and slammed the door closed before the wolf
could catch them. The three little pigs they were very frightened, they knew the wolf
wanted to eat them. And that was very, very true.
The wolf hadn't eaten all day and he had worked up a large appetite chasing the pigs
around and now he could smell all three of them inside and he knew that the three
little pigs would make a lovely feast. So the wolf knocked on the door and said:
"Little pigs! Little pigs! Let me in! Let me in!” But the little pigs saw the wolf's narrow
eyes through the keyhole, so they answered back:
"No! No! No! Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chin!” So the wolf showed his teeth
and said: “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down.”

Original Script
Well! he huffed and he puffed. He puffed and he huffed. And he huffed, huffed, and he
puffed, puffed; but he could not blow the house down. At last, he was so out of breath
that he couldn't huff and he couldn't puff anymore. So he stopped to rest and thought a
bit. But this was too much.
The wolf danced about with rage and swore he would come down the chimney and eat
up the little pig for his supper. But while he was climbing on to the roof the little pig
made up a blazing fire and put on a big pot full of water to boil. Then, just as the wolf
was coming down the chimney, the little piggy off with the lid, and plump! in fell the
wolf into the scalding water.
So the little piggy put on the cover again, boiled the wolf up, and the three little pigs ate
him for supper.

Story Breakdown
Page 1; 3 Space Monkeys had to leave their mother’s spaceship in order to begin making their own
room. They began building their own spaceships for when they each earned their own pilot license.
Page 2; The first monkey was lazy, and finished building his spaceship first so he could make it look
bright and colourful and show off to his brother and sister.
Page 3; The second monkey had taken more time, but she still wanted to have a bright and fancy
spaceship to compare with her brothers.
Page 4; The last monkey finished his ship the day before their licenses arrived, and had built a very
fast spaceship but it didn’t look very fancy or colourful.
Page 5; The 3 space monkeys are playing in their ships when they find a new spaceship parked on a
small planet, which suddenly starts chasing the first monkey.
Page 6; The first monkey had spent too long making his ship look cool to show off, and so wasn’t
fast enough to escape the alien, and so he jumped into his sister’s ship.
Page 7; The second monkey had also wasted time trying to show off her ship, which meant it still
wasn’t fast enough to outrun the alien’s spaceship.
Page 8; Both monkeys jumped into the final ship, which the last monkey had taken the longest to
build, and so it was very fast, and they escaped the alien’s spaceship.
Page 9; The alien crashes into the moon as it tries to catch the final monkey’s spaceship, and the
monkeys live happily ever after.

Draft Script
The 3 space monkeys are told by their mother that they all need to prepare to leave her ship as
she doesn’t have enough room for them anymore, and so they all begin to build their own
spaceships for when their pilot licenses arrive.
The first monkey, who was the oldest, finished his spaceship first of the 3, so he could make his
spaceship bright and colourful so he could show off to all of his friends. He painted it blue and
red and green, and then he found some stickers and put them on the spaceship.
The second monkey spent longer building her spaceship, but she also wanted to show off her
new spaceship to her friends so she made it look bright and fancy as well. She painted the
whole thing pink, but she didn’t have enough time to add any stickers.
The final monkey spent the longest on his ship, and only finished it the day before their licenses
arrived, but his spaceship was the fastest because he had spent the longest. He didn’t have any
time to paint or decorate his spaceship like his siblings.
The 3 space monkeys then began to fly their new spaceships and playing until they found a new
planet, from which a new alien spaceship comes to chase them!
The first monkey, who had spent more time making his spaceship colourful, was the first to be
chased, and since he took the least time on his ship it was the slowest.
The second monkey flew by, and the first monkey jumped into her spaceship, as it was faster
than his, but yet the alien still chased them.
They couldn’t escape, and so the third monkey, who had the fastest ship came and they all
jumped into his spaceship and began to fly away.
They all flew away in the final monkey’s fast spaceship, and they escaped the alien after he
crashed into his own moon and jumped out just before his spaceship broke.

Final Script
Once upon a time, there were 3 Space Monkeys living on their mother’s spaceship. One day,
during dinner, their mother spoke to them and said “The time has come for you all to make your
own spaceships to use as homes, as mine is running out of room for you all!” and with that, they
all got to work on building their own spaceships. They had to have their ships built before their
pilot licenses arrived, which was in 1 week. The first monkey, who was the oldest, finished his
spaceship first, so he could make his spaceship bright and colourful to show it off to all of his
friends. He painted it blue and red and green, and found some stickers to decorate it. “Mother!
Look at my spaceship and how bright it is!” he bragged at the dinner table in front of his brother
and sister. The second monkey finished hers next, and then began painting hers. However, she
only had time to paint it one colour, which she chose to be pink, but she was still proud of her
work none the less. When all of the monkeys were at the dinner table once again, she spoke up
and said “Mother! Have you seen how pretty and pink my spaceship is!” The final monkey
however, took the longest to finish his spaceship, and he only finished it on the night before
their licenses arrived. Every night at the dinner table, the last monkey’s brother and sister
teased him for not finishing his spaceship in time, but he ignored them and continued to work
hard on his spaceship. At long last, he had finished his ship, but he had no time to paint or
decorate it so it matched with his brother and sister and their fancy spaceships. However, his
ship was the best built as he had taken the most time on it and had patience. The 3 monkeys
finally went out to fly their own spaceships for the first time, and then whooshed and zoomed
around the galaxy, enjoying their newfound freedom. One day, when the oldest monkey tried to
show off how far he could fly, he accidentally stumbled across a moon. As he flew closer
towards this new moon, a spaceship left the moon, with an alien driving it!

Final Script
The first monkey got scared of the alien and flew away back to his brother and sister, but the
alien had a faster spaceship then the first monkey and he chased him all the way! “Help me! I’m
being chased!” shouted the first monkey to the second monkey, who had a faster spaceship. So
she flew past and the first monkey jumped into her spaceship, and they both flew away. “Oh
thank you sister, now lets escape!” he said to her. However, the alien’s spaceship was still faster
and he came close to catching them until the third monkey flew over. He shouted to them
“Jump aboard!” and jump aboard they did. Since he had spent the longest time building his ship
and not trying to show off to everyone else, he had the fastest spaceship. He managed to fly
away from the alien, before the alien tried to trick the monkeys. He flew around a planet the
other way to the monkeys, trying to catch them by surprise. “Look out!” shouted the second
monkey as she saw the alien flying towards them. The third monkey had spent the most time in
his spaceship practising, and it was also the fastest, and so he managed to avoid the alien and fly
past, towards home. The alien however, crashed his spaceship into the planet he had tried to
trick the monkeys with, and he jumped out just before it crashed into the ground below. The
monkeys all flew away as quick as they could, which was very quick, back towards their mother’s
spaceship. “We made it!” they all exclaimed as they saw their mother’s spaceship in the
distance, and they flew back to tell their mother about their adventures. Once they were safe,
the third monkey taught his older brother and sister how to build a spaceship that was faster
and better than their first ones. In return, they both helped him paint and decorate his
spaceship all different bright colours, so he could show it off to everyone else. They all built their
spaceships, and went out to explore the galaxy, and live happily ever after…
