The document provides planning details for a digital graphic narrative project adapting the story of Little Red Riding Hood. It includes sections considering costs, available resources, target audience, production schedule, and health and safety. The planning details various aspects of the project such as using free online resources, a target audience of 4-7 year olds, and a 10 session production schedule to complete the story in pages over rotoscoping images and adding text. Health and safety considerations address preventing trip hazards, eye strain from computer use, and following relevant legislation.

1. Digital Graphic Narrative Planning
Use this booklet to help structure your planning and collate your planning documents.
Considerations:
There are lots of things to consider in this project. Fill out each section in detail to show you have thought about each one. You
should imagine that this is a live project, so considerations like cost, quantity and codes of practice must be thought about in that
context rather than just as a college project.
Costs: Since I am doing all of my work digitally there will generally be no costs for travel, models, equipment
etc…
Available resources: I am able to make my book using the internet, Photoshop and images from Google.

2. Quantity: When I have produced my book I will then make another 1000+ copies. The more books that get
sold the more I will earn. I feel as though it would be a popular book as ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ is a very
popular and also well-known story.
Audience and Target Market: The audience/market that my book will be a child aged between 4 and 7, who
can be either male or female. I think that it is suitable for both genders as there are features in the book that
will interest both boys and girls such as the characters; there are characters in the book that will appeal to
boys and also other characters that would appeal more to girls. Little Red Riding Hood would be read be
families that are either working class or middle class because it is a popular story that everybody knows of.
Quality Factors: in order to make this book of a better quality I will have to make sure I am always on
schedule. I will also have to compare pages to make sure the story has a good flow to it. I think it is very
important that it is of a consistent quality all the way through the book. 2 weeks in the grand scheme is not
that much time so it is important that I am always focused on that task in hand.
Codes of Practice: This area of work is covered by ‘the publishers association’ code of practice on author
practice (2010). Not only does this act give me protection it also gives the publisher protection. In the code it
says “the publisher should be aware of the author’s moral rights” what this means is the author’s statutory
rights in the UK and parts of the EU to make sure the work is credited to the author.

3. Regulation: I will have to ensure that I follow the obscene publications act and also the equality act to make
sure that I do not include any features in my book that could be seen as racist, ageist, homophobic etc… and
also to make sure I do not include anything that would be deemed not suitable to people of my target
audience.
Copyright: If I was to use somebody else’s piece of work in order to improve the overall quality of my own
work, I would have to pay the person who actually made the font, took the image etc…
Ethical Issues: When in production I will have to consider representation and cultural sensitivity. This is so I
don’t single out any person or group of people in a negative way. This is also very important so I do not write
or illustrate something that could be deemed offensive to a certain culture.

4. Resources:
A successful project relies on good planning. Considering all the resources you will need for a project and then assessing which
you already have and which you need will help ensure you are ready to start your project.
If there is a resource you don’t currently have, then consider how you are going to get it before you go in to production.
Resource:
Do you have
it? What do you need to do to get it?
Computer/mac Yes We have them at college
Photoshop Yes It is on the computers/macs at college.
Characters No
I will have to get an image off Google and rotoscope it on
Photoshop.
Scenes No Google images
Internet Yes Use the computer
Script Yes Get it off my documents
Flat plans Yes My documents

5. Production Schedule:
Delivering your project on time is vital. In order to do this, you need a solid plan of action. This will help you divide up your work in
to manageable chunks to be tackled one at a time. It will also allow you to plan which tasks need to be done in which order. It will
also allow you to track your progress each day. If you are falling behind, you will need to modify the way you work. If you work
faster than expected, you can clearly see what the next steps you need to take are.
Each session is a half day of college.
Session 1:
In this session I will produce the first page of my book. I will need to rotoscope the background and the
characters. This will be red riding hood preparing to leave for grandma’s house
Session 2:
For the second session I will produce page 2 of the book. To produce this I must rotoscope the images
and the background and later add text. This will be the page in which red riding hood’s mother gives her
instructions not to talk to strangers.

6. Session 3:
For this session I will produce page 3. To produce this I must rotoscope the images and the background
and add text. This will be red riding hood happily walking down the woods
Session 4:
For this session I will produce page 4. To produce this I must rotoscope the images and put in some
text. This page will be of Little Red Riding Hood meeting the wolf and passing on too much information
about where she was going.

7. Session 5:
In this session I will produce page 5. This will be the scene in which the wolf arrives at Grandma’s with
her believing the wolf is Red Riding Hood. To produce this I will rotoscope then add text to the image.
Session 6:
For this session I will produce page 6. I will not need to rotoscope as it is the same scenery as page 5
but I will need to add text. This will be the scene in which Red Riding hood arrives at Grandma’s

8. Session 7:
For this session I will produce the 7th and 8th pages of my book. For this page I will need to rotoscope
my image and add text. This will be the scenes in which Red Riding Hood is talking about what huge
features Grandma has before actually realising it was the wolf who had eaten Grandma.
Session 8:
In this session I will produce page 9 of my book. To produce this I will need to rotoscope my image and
add text. This will be the scene in which the wolf chases Red Riding Hood down the woods until they
come across a woodcutter

9. Session 9:
In this session I will produce page 10 of my book. To do this I must rotoscope my image and add text.
This will be the part of the book in which the woodcutter hits Grandma, causing it to release Grandma
and then run away.
Session 10:
This is the session in which I will produce the final page of my book. To produce this page I must
rotoscope the images then add text. This will be the scene in which Little Red Riding Hood, Grandma
and the Woodcutter all go back to Grandma’s house for some tea and cakes in the happy ending.

11. Health and safety:
Your health and safety and that of those around you is very important. Just like in industry, an accident could prevent you from
working. Whilst we don’t work in a highly dangerous environment, there are still risks. Some are short term, such as trips and
spillages whilst others, such as long term damage to eyesight or back problems, may affect you much later in life.
Consider the risks based on the activities you will be undertaking during the project. Explain how you could prevent them from
happening.
Ensure you reference appropriate pieces of legislation, design to protect people at work.
Health and Safety Issue How can you prevent it?
Spillages of sugary drinks etc…
Ensure that you only have water and that it is not in a cup
or glass. It has to be in a plastic bottle that has a lid.
Potential trip hazards.
To prevent trip hazards I have to make sure such things
like bags and wires are tucked away under the table. This
is covered by the health and safety at work act.
Staring at a computer screen for a long period of time can
cause damage to your eyes.
In order to ensure my eyes stay in a reasonably good
condition it is important that I take at least a 5-minute
break every hour. This is covered by the display screen
regulations
