Misfits Storymaking

In class we were set a task where we all had a piece of paper and we had to write part of a story, fold the paper over and pass it onto the person next to us. As we were passed the piece of paper one of our teachers (Ms Humpleby) would said 'write the title of the story' or 'describe a character' so we knew what to write. After this the sheet we were left was 'our sheet'. We had to choose somebody on the other side of the classroom so that friendship groups were mixed and chose one of 'our sheets' to 'create' in some way, we could do a comic strip or storyboard of our story but it had to include every point written on our sheet.
The person on the other side of the room I picked was Fabian Harrison. We chose my sheet as mine made the most sense and Fabian's was mixed on both sides of the paper. We initially wanted to film it as a sweded movie but realised this was impractical in the time frame given, one week. We then chose a storyboard and Fabian is currently writing a script ready for us to take pictures on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The story on my sheet was this.

It reads:
 'young, handsome and athletic TV, why does Pinocchio have a big nose? Great Yarmouth Donald the killer whale. Kevin hates cats steals milk. Track, zoom, sqelch, boom. Basically Wendy killed everybody along with Geoffrey Wilkinson.'

Me and Fabian met in a lunch time one day this week, we discussed and planned out the storyline. Fabian has also made a storyboard on his blog which I have based this iMovie on.



Literally seconds after reading this I continued to read Ms Humpleby's blog where she said 'on paper'. I now regret making this.

Reflective Comment: I do regret making this as it took time and that time seemed very unneeded. However it improved my iMovie skills and helped me to work with somebody I don't normally work with.

  1. ah but this is brilliant - great evidence of understanding and refining skill and technique, imagination and digital literacy so you are forgiven
