Evaluation
What did you like about your images?
The image of the degu has a lot of detail the different shades of
fur and the organic shape of it is just like it was a real creature if
you did not know what a degu was.
What would you improve if you did it again?
More time could’ve been use to finish the house and the degu
could’ve had more tiny details like the nose and visible arm and
paw.

Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The details on the face, hand and jacket are well done the
shades and shine are used the correct are and brilliantly inspired
by the original image not directly copied while some areas
needed some artistic licence.
I would add more detail to the jacket as in the different levels of
shade and shine and the visible stitching and the hair is a bit out
of place I kind cheated with that asset.

Evaluation
What did you like about your images?
The Dr Strangelove quote was very simple to do the difficult thing about it was
trying the find the U to make it true to the character as this was a weird satirical
piece the last lines were ex Nazi screaming to his Führer.
The kings speech required some work first to find the full quote as I only knew
half of it this quote shows how Louge can see how far King George the sixth is
from being in control of his stammer.
For the pulp fiction end speech Jules says to pumpkin I liked that speech because
it shows that Jules is trying his hardest to turn over a new leaf to stop killing and
live a normal life but pumpkin and his wife raid of the bar is pushing his moral
limits this speech unintentionally says he really really wants to be the good guy
and not shoot pumpkin and his wife and the way I coloured the image showing
the light over coming the darkness the same can be said about Jules using
threshold to show that he is now good at heart.
The only one I would improve is the kings speech it’s a bit messy so
having the time clean it up and change few things would be nice.

Evaluation
All of the different ways that you change your text is quite
astounding especially the clipping mask tool that allows you to
turn any image you want into the text in some way.
If I had more time to experiment with different fonts and colours
to see what I can make.

Evaluation
All the images have their own sort of style that works with the
subject as Brain Blessed is a warm person rather then Javier
Bardem’s Anton Chigurh is a cold blooded murderer the dark
colours emphasis that very well.
The colours on captain jack sparrow shows his weird personality.
The colours on jack can be more polished and the threshold on
the others could have been evened out.

Evaluation
The artistic style that I have chosen gives the images a slight neo
noir feel while the way the images are positioned is to make it
look like a legit graphic novel.
If I had the option to have more images it would’ve added more
development to the atmosphere and setting.

Evaluation
This image id derived from the phone booth where Colin Farrel
goes into a phone booth to answer a call and is given the to
listen or leave the booth and die and I think I capture one the
many intense moments in the film very well.
I would’ve added more details but I don’t have much knowledge
on American streets and buildings.

Evaluation
I like how I gave it a surrealist feel with the ice, marble and
various filters because of that it has that look at me sort of feel
the feel when a person looks at they think person went a little bit
crazy.
With more patience I would been able to put different shades
and levels so the house has more detail.

Story Overview
This is an altered version of Charles Perrault’s Bluebeard because the content is a little bit too
graphic for younger readers and there are names given to certain characters because they never
had one given in the surviving copy.
The story is that there is this man called Bluebeard he is unbelievably rich and he wants to marry
again but that is a bit difficult as there is a rumour that he killed his 7 previous wives and everyone
thinks he is hideous due to the colour of his beard so he tries to get acquainted with the other
main character Claire. Later on they get married and Bluebeard has to go on a business trip so he
gives Claire the keys and instructs her to never go into the treasury or bad things will happen but
while he was gone curiosity got the better of her and she opened the treasury to find in this
version 7 pure gold statues of woman frozen in a state of terror with piece’s like fingers, hair and
other parts missing as Bluebeard returned he found out that she entered the due to the key used
on the had gold on it that could not be removed so bluebeard in a fit of paranoia thinks she
married him for his money so he intends to use his ring to change her as well she begs to pray, he
allows her, while she is in the tower she signals her sister to get their brothers, a dragoon and a
regular solider, they come in a nick of time and use the ring on bluebeard saving their sister.
Export Format
PDF
Advantages: They’re accessible on every device and format as they are self contained, higher amounts of compression than any
other format.
Disadvantages: They’re harder to read on phone, tablets or Ebooks, they are very hard to post edit, there are many versions of PDF
so to keep the quality check the PDF type first.

Production Methods
The backgrounds will be dark in colour as the gold and silver sticks out more to
catch the readers eye.
The characters will stand out as well with own feature for example Bluebeard’s
eyes, beard, ear rings and enchanted ring.
Some colours will need to be over exaggerated and the characters will have simple
yet interesting colour palates to show the class and life style these people live while
certain features will be simplified for time and not to oversaturate the reader as
they’re only just kids.
I will purely be using Photoshop to create all assets, characters and locations
knowing it will take a while to complete. I will find the images of locations to create
the backgrounds that are Tudor in nature if not I will edit them via Photoshop plus
finding textures and use certain filters to add more to the overall image while
keeping the chosen art style.
The images for locations to create the backgrounds will be difficult so I might have
to set aside a Wednesday to search for the images including the images that I will
rotoscope to create the characters.
While making the mood board I have gained a general idea of how the characters
shall be designed and the locations but seeing the original look of Bluebeard who
looks like he is of an eastern origin so changing his nationality will avoid any racial
stereotyping.

Deadline
9th June 2017

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
The strengths of the proposal are that the whole
story is there to see and the ideas have really been
thought about. Also you have really thought about
the people who will read/ have the book read to
them.
I believe the story my be a little boring for children
maybe add an extra page or two with a little
background on the previous 7 wives.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The mind map has a lot of detail and is a great way
to show how all the characters are connected. Also
the mood board gives a ruff idea of how the book
will look.
I think you should add some text ideas to the mood
board and a colour pallet to show the colours you
are thinking of using.

The strengths are that you have clearly stated how
you are going to format this and why.
I have got a brief idea in my head about what your
story will be like because you have explained it well
in your proposal.
You could say what techniques you are going to us
and why.
You could also expand on your audience a bit more
by explaining why this is your audience.
further developed?
Your mind map has a lot of pictures which are great
because I now have an even bigger idea in my
head on how your story will look, and what will
happen in it.
However you could annotate the images and say
why you have chosen them, why have you put
those certain images into your work. You could also
add some colour pallets and colour wheels to show
us a little bit more of what theme you are wanting to
do.

The story overview gives me a good idea of how
the story will pan out without giving to much away,
the production gives me a good idea of what the
book will physically look like and the audience gives
me a basic idea of who you intend the book to be
for.
Could expand on you audience section in terms of
why you have chosen this as your audience also
give information as to what you will use to make
your book e.g. Photoshop
further developed?
The mood board gives me good idea of the
subjects that will be illustrated in your book an the
mind map gives me a good understanding of your
thought process and why you have chosen the
ideas that you have.
You should incorporate more ideas in to your mood
board such as textures that may be used
throughout your book and give some examples of
the font that you intend to use.

Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
Most of the positive feedback is on the story overview and the mind map mostly on how it shows a lot about the
story but not too much.
The negative comments revolve around the moodboard via annotation of the images and the addition of textures
and text ideas.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
I agree that should’ve added a little bit more to the moodboard texture and text wise but I agree
with everyone's opinion about the overview and the mindmap.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
The comment about adding more to the 7 wives background is an obvious plot point but the
original story only said that there were 7 dead wives that’s it so I have nothing to go by.

Original Script
There was once a man who had fine houses, both in town and country, a deal of silver and gold plate, embroidered furniture, and coaches gilded
all over with gold. But this man was so unlucky as to have a blue beard, which made him so frightfully ugly that all the women and girls ran away
from him.
One of his neighbours, a lady of quality, had two daughters who were perfect beauties. He desired of her one of them in marriage, leaving to her
choice which of the two she would bestow on him. Neither of them would have him, and they sent him backwards and forwards from one to the
other, not being able to bear the thoughts of marrying a man who had a blue beard. Adding to their disgust and aversion was the fact that he
already had been married to several wives, and nobody knew what had become of them.
Blue Beard, to engage their affection, took them, with their mother and three or four ladies of their acquaintance, with other young people of
the neighbourhood, to one of his country houses, where they stayed a whole week.
The time was filled with parties, hunting, fishing, dancing, mirth, and feasting. Nobody went to bed, but all passed the night in rallying and joking
with each other. In short, everything succeeded so well that the youngest daughter began to think that the man's beard was not so very blue
after all, and that he was a mighty civil gentleman.
As soon as they returned home, the marriage was concluded. About a month afterwards, Blue Beard told his wife that he was obliged to take a
country journey for six weeks at least, about affairs of very great consequence. He desired her to divert herself in his absence, to send for her
friends and acquaintances, to take them into the country, if she pleased, and to make good cheer wherever she was.
"Here," said he," are the keys to the two great wardrobes, wherein I have my best furniture. These are to my silver and gold plate, which is not
everyday in use. These open my strongboxes, which hold my money, both gold and silver; these my caskets of jewels. And this is the master key
to all my apartments. But as for this little one here, it is the key to the closet at the end of the great hall on the ground floor. Open them all; go
into each and every one of them, except that little closet, which I forbid you, and forbid it in such a manner that, if you happen to open it, you
may expect my just anger and resentment."
She promised to observe, very exactly, whatever he had ordered. Then he, after having embraced her, got into his coach and proceeded on his
journey.
Her neighbours and good friends did not wait to be sent for by the newly married lady. They were impatient to see all the rich furniture of her
house, and had not dared to come while her husband was there, because of his blue beard, which frightened them. They ran through all the
rooms, closets, and wardrobes, which were all so fine and rich that they seemed to surpass one another.
After that, they went up into the two great rooms, which contained the best and richest furniture. They could not sufficiently admire the
number and beauty of the tapestry, beds, couches, cabinets, stands, tables, and looking glasses, in which you might see yourself from head to
foot; some of them were framed with glass, others with silver, plain and gilded, the finest and most magnificent that they had ever seen.
They ceased not to extol and envy the happiness of their friend, who in the meantime in no way diverted herself in looking upon all these rich
things, because of the impatience she had to go and open the closet on the ground floor. She was so much pressed by her curiosity that, without
considering that it was very uncivil for her to leave her company, she went down a little back staircase, and with such excessive haste that she
nearly fell and broke her neck.
Having come to the closet door, she made a stop for some time, thinking about her husband's orders, and considering what unhappiness might
attend her if she was disobedient; but the temptation was so strong that she could not overcome it. She then took the little key, and opened it,
trembling.

Original Script
At first she could not see anything plainly, because the windows were shut. After some moments she began to perceive that the floor was all
covered over with clotted blood, on which lay the bodies of several dead women, ranged against the walls. (These were all the wives whom Blue
Beard had married and murdered, one after another.) She thought she should have died for fear, and the key, which she, pulled out of the lock,
fell out of her hand.
After having somewhat recovered her surprise, she picked up the key, locked the door, and went upstairs into her chamber to recover; but she
could not, so much was she frightened. Having observed that the key to the closet was stained with blood, she tried two or three times to wipe
it off; but the blood would not come out; in vain did she wash it, and even rub it with soap and sand. The blood still remained, for the key was
magical and she could never make it quite clean; when the blood was gone off from one side, it came again on the other.
Blue Beard returned from his journey the same evening, saying that he had received letters upon the road, informing him that the affair he went
about had concluded to his advantage. His wife did all she could to convince him that she was extremely happy about his speedy return.
The next morning he asked her for the keys, which she gave him, but with such a trembling hand that he easily guessed what had happened.
"What!" said he, "is not the key of my closet among the rest?"
"I must," said she, "have left it upstairs upon the table."
"Fail not," said Blue Beard, "to bring it to me at once."
After several goings backwards and forwards, she was forced to bring him the key. Blue Beard, having very attentively considered it, said to his
wife, "Why is there blood on the key?"
"I do not know," cried the poor woman, paler than death.
"You do not know!" replied Blue Beard. "I very well know. You went into the closet, did you not? Very well, madam; you shall go back, and take
your place among the ladies you saw there."
Upon this she threw herself at her husband's feet, and begged his pardon with all the signs of a true repentance, vowing that she would never
more be disobedient. She would have melted a rock, so beautiful and sorrowful was she; but Blue Beard had a heart harder than any rock!
"You must die, madam," said he, "at once."
"Since I must die," answered she (looking upon him with her eyes all bathed in tears), "give me some little time to say my prayers."
"I give you," replied Blue Beard, "half a quarter of an hour, but not one moment more."
When she was alone she called out to her sister, and said to her, "Sister Anne" (for that was her name), "go up, I beg you, to the top of the
tower, and look if my brothers are not coming. They promised me that they would come today, and if you see them, give them a sign to make
haste."
Her sister Anne went up to the top of the tower, and the poor afflicted wife cried out from time to time, "Anne, sister Anne, do you see anyone
coming?"
And sister Anne said, "I see nothing but a cloud of dust in the sun, and the green grass."
In the meanwhile Blue Beard, holding a great saber in his hand, cried out as loud as he could bawl to his wife, "Come down instantly, or I shall
come up to you."

Original Script
"One moment longer, if you please," said his wife; and then she cried out very softly, "Anne, sister Anne, do you see anybody
coming?"
And sister Anne answered, "I see nothing but a cloud of dust in the sun, and the green grass."
"Come down quickly," cried Blue Beard, "or I will come up to you."
"I am coming," answered his wife; and then she cried, "Anne, sister Anne, do you not see anyone coming?"
"I see," replied sister Anne, "a great cloud of dust approaching us."
"Are they my brothers?"
"Alas, no my dear sister, I see a flock of sheep."
"Will you not come down?" cried Blue Beard.
"One moment longer," said his wife, and then she cried out, "Anne, sister Anne, do you see nobody coming?"
"I see," said she, "two horsemen, but they are still a great way off."
"God be praised," replied the poor wife joyfully. "They are my brothers. I will make them a sign, as well as I can for them to make
haste."
Then Blue Beard bawled out so loud that he made the whole house tremble. The distressed wife came down, and threw herself at
his feet, all in tears, with her hair about her shoulders.
"This means nothing," said Blue Beard. "You must die!" Then, taking hold of her hair with one hand, and lifting up the sword with
the other, he prepared to strike off her head. The poor lady, turning about to him, and looking at him with dying eyes, desired him to
afford her one little moment to recollect herself.
"No, no," said he, "commend yourself to God," and was just ready to strike.
At this very instant there was such a loud knocking at the gate that Blue Beard made a sudden stop. The gate was opened, and two
horsemen entered. Drawing their swords, they ran directly to Blue Beard. He knew them to be his wife's brothers, one a dragoon,
the other a musketeer; so that he ran away immediately to save himself; but the two brothers pursued and overtook him before he
could get to the steps of the porch. Then they ran their swords through his body and left him dead. The poor wife was almost as
dead as her husband, and had not strength enough to rise and welcome her brothers.
Blue Beard had no heirs, and so his wife became mistress of all his estate. She made use of one part of it to marry her sister Anne to
a young gentleman who had loved her a long while; another part to buy captains' commissions for her brothers, and the rest to
marry herself to a very worthy gentleman, who made her forget the ill time she had passed with Blue Beard.

Bluebeard is a lonely wealthy man who wants to love again but everyone thinks he looks ugly due to his bright
bluebeard and the rumour of him killing his 7 previous wives so he goes out and eventually meets 2 sisters in
the town.
One sister (Anne) dismisses him because of the rumours surrounding him the other sister (Claire) reluctantly
accepts the offer.
After a couple of months Claire warms up to Bluebeard seeing through the rumours and grows to like his beard
then they married.
Bluebeard tells Claire he has to go out for short while for business so he hands her the keys to the various
rooms of the house including the closet downstairs with a rather grim tone and tells her she can brings friends
when ever she wants insisting that she stays out of that closet or else.
While her friends were invading every room to take a good look at all the exotic items in the house Claire’s
curiosity takes control of her and she can’t help herself but to look inside the closet.
Claire opens the forbidden door to be greeted with a gruesome sight of 7 wives laying about the floor with their
necks agape, Claire closes the closet and removes the key but the key slathered in blood she tries to clean it
but to no avail.
When bluebeard returns she tries not to give him the key but he finds out and tries to kill her she begs him to
stop, he says no, so she tells him she wants to pray he allows it.
While he waits Claire calls for Anne to get their brothers while she stalled for time bluebeard gained more and
more and infuriated so he forces her out and proceeds to kill her until her brothers Richard and Alfred save her
in the nick of time and slay bluebeard.
With all of this power left to her as bluebeard was a lord Claire helped her siblings to have happy lives including
getting her brothers commendations to become captains.

she went down the stairs at a breakneck pace to the closet downstairs.

she was red in the face but she cannot fight it she puts the key into the lock, turns it the door unlocks with a
massive clump ”can’t go back now” she says opening the door to a room filled to the brim with riches “this must

looks closer she see’s 7 gold statues of women giving them a closer look she realises who one them an old

hands over keys “where is the closet key” said Bluebeard “I lost it” Claire implied ”it is behind you in your hand
give it to me please” said Bluebeard with a sharp tone then he grabbed her hands and snatched the key to see
the tip glazed in gold this enraged him “I am sorry” said Claire Bluebeard replied “you tried to steal my riches do
you know what its like to live in the gutter poor, hungry, lonely” he said backing Claire to the wall “I will not lose

Bluebeard accepts her offer and sends her to the tower as she looks out of the window she see’s her
sister Anne “Anne Anne” she cried “Claire” Anne replied “Go and get Richard and Alfred please save me”
as she explains what is going on, Bluebeard meanwhile growing impatient “Claire come down here now”
he roared “Coming” she replied with a sense of overwhelming dread.
Page 10
“Are you ready” says bluebeard “yes” Claire replied when she has positioned herself Bluebeard recites a
spell ”from this ring great in mould, my promise in use a part of my soul shall be sold, now my ring with
powers bold, turn this one into…” before his finishes his sentence two soldiers come crashing in to stop
Bluebeard “Richard, Alfred” she says with glee “Come here you vile beast” Richard says restraining
Bluebeard and Alfred takes the ring and throws it into the fireplace destroying it, as soon it was thrown in
Bluebeard screams in pain then turns into solid gold “is he...” Alfred says confused “yes” Claire said then
they could hear a faint shouting from downstairs they race downstairs to the closet and smash the door
to reveal the 7 other wives returned to their normal state. Years have passed the wives are living happily
and Alfred and Richard have promoted and Anne is happily married thanks to Claire who is the Lady of
the land using her riches to help the poor and build a better city but she can’t stop feeling sorry for

Final Script
Page 1
A long time ago there was a rich lonely man with a blue beard, his name was funnily enough. BLUE BEARD. He
had lots of Gold, Silver and always wore the finest clothes, but none of this could bring him happiness, he felt
very lonely.
Blue beard wanted a friend, he wanted a wife, but people said don’t go near him he has been married lots of
times before and every time he just takes their money and just sends them far away never to be seen again.
Blue Beard wasn’t going to give up so he went to a nearby town and he meet two ladies called Claire and Anne.
Page 2
“Hello” said Bluebeard “Hello” replied Claire and Anna “let me introduce myself I am Bluebeard trader and
collector of rare items and you two are”? said bluebeard “Claire Carlisle sir and this is my sister Anna”, Anna
was so nervous she was frozen on the spot “Anna what’s wrong” they walked to a quiet area to talk so
bluebeard waited “do you know who he is? he marries to get your money” said Anna “Lets give him a chance,
begged Claire “ok” said Anna.
Page 3
Months went by after they first met, during that time Bluebeard proved that he is kind, caring, funny and loving
to Claire. Bluebeard, Claire her family and friends enjoyed things like really posh parties, hunting, country walks
and playing jokes on each other, after all of this Claire says “yes I will marry you” he wasn’t the Monster that
everyone thought he was but a loving man with a beard that was blue.
Page 4
Just after they got married, Bluebeard had to go on a trip for a rare item so he gave Claire the house keys “here
is the Front and back door keys, master key to the rooms and the key to the attic” Bluebeard gave them to
Claire for safe keeping then he pulls out an old rusted key and says “and this key this is for the cupboard
downstairs don’t and I mean do not go in there please” he asks Claire, she nodded gave Bluebeard and a kiss
on the check as he leaves.

Later on Claire asked her friends to come round to the house. They didn’t wait to be shown around the house
as they could not wait to see the Gold and silver plates they ran to the bedrooms to see Claire’s beautiful
dresses.
As they were doing that Claire could not shake the feeling of what could be in the closet downstairs “excuse me
ladies I’ll go and bring some drinks” she said while leaving the room.
Then she ran down the stairs nearly falling down them. Then she stopped right in front of the closet downstairs.
Page 6
She was like a statue, she didn’t move for long time until she took a deep breath in then out “can’t go back now”
she thought as she puts the old rusted key into the lock and turned it once then twice and suddenly a big
CLONK.
The door is unlocked Claire put her hand on the handle and pushed the big brown door open, there was no light
so she took a torch from the corridor, ten steps later Claire finds 7 golden statues that look like women.
Then Claire realised, one of them was her old friend Mary.
Page 7
She ran straight out of the room slamming the door shut and locked it, Claire stood there terrified and confused
looking at the key she just took out of the keyhole “it’s now gold!” she said.
Claire tried to clean it with her dress once, twice, three times “it’s still there” she said, so she went to the kitchen
and tried to wash it off with boiling hot water. She washed it once then she washed it twice she washed it three
times it was still there.
There was a banging sound at the front door then a strong male voice saying “Claire I’m home” it was
Bluebeard.

Final Script
Page 8
“Hello my dear” he said, Claire gave him a kiss on both cheeks, she was trying as hard as she could to keep a smile on
her face, so Bluebeard would not know that she had been in the closet.
“Can I have the keys back please” Bluebeard said Claire hands over the normal keys “where is the other one” Bluebeard
asks “which one” said Claire hiding the key behind her back “give me that” said Bluebeard as he snatched out of Claire’s
hand, the tip of the key was still gold.
“You dare steal from me” Bluebeard shouted Claire falls to her knees crying “I knew this would happen again, I have no

Bluebeard takes her to the tower and locks the door, the room was dark and filthy with only one window Claire looked out,
she saw her sister walking about near the tower “ANNA, ANNA” Claire shouted, Claire explains the trouble she is in.
Meanwhile Bluebeard was walking backwards and forwards getting more and annoyed by the second “ARE YOU
FINNISHED YET” Bluebeard shouted “NOT YET” Claire replied “GO AND GET OUR BROTHERS PLEASE AND DO IT
FAST” she begged.
“TIMES UP” Bluebeard roared, he shook the castle as he marched up the stairs, he grabbed Claire by the hand and took
her back down stairs, he made her sit down and he started to recite a spell “from this ring great in mould, my promise in
use a part of my soul shall be sold, now my ring with powers bold, turn this one into…”.

Just then the front doors flew wide open there were two soldiers outside “Alfred and Richard” Alfred ran and grabbed
Bluebeard, he took the ring away from him while Richard ran to Claire, he took her to the next room.
Bluebeard screamed as the ring was destroyed and he turned into gold.
Alfred heard distant cries coming from downstairs “HELLO” “HELP US” “WE’RE DOWN HERE”.
Richard broke the closet door down freeing the 7 women.

rank of captain, Anne found the right man for her, even though they all lived happily ever after Claire, feels sorry for
Bluebeard as his anger got the best of him.
