Retelling and story board
March 2024
I would like to retell the stories that i plan to illustrate. I wish to do this so that the story matches the illustrations more than if i was just use the original story and the illustrations. I was planning on changing elements of the original to fit the illustrations, however i found that i was struggling with flow and working out how to word it do that it blends into the original. Due to this, i chose to retell the story fully, using the original as a guide with mine but using my own words. -I feel like my retelling has better flow and more emotions to it compare to adding elements to the original - classmate agrees.
I have chosen to focus my time on one story over mutiple, i chose this due to the amount of time i have to work on this project and i want to make sure I still have a good quality of work over a bigger amount. I picked to focus on 'The Selfish Giant' as this is a story i read a lot as a kid and i had more inspiration and ideas on what to do compare to other stories.
These or the start of my rough guides for the illustrations.
