More story editing...


Today I started storyboarding, but it didn't last for long. I was suddenly like FUCK! I don't even know how much space I'm gonna need and uhrgsjkfheskfihehf. So basically I got my old script-a-roony out and crossed out some of the lines I won't be using and re-designated page space for individual segments. NOW I can go back to storyboarding. Also, I'm gonna try hard to make each new turn of the page contrast against the last. So when I've had a page with a landscape double spread thingy I will probably go to something close up for the next etc. You get me. Also I was able to cut out about 6 more lines today. This segment for example:

The great beast that was chomping on flesh and on bone
and the woman who used creatures skins as her own
The man who kept creatures in cages for zoos
and the science-y man began wondering too

We're the takers who take but we've taken too much
With our self centred ways we've begun to lose touch



ALL OF THAT *POP* gone! I don't need to reiterate what the takers do. The page prior to this will mention that they are rethinking their position and the following images will show that, so I don't need to describe it. NEVER SAY WHAT YOU CAN SHOW. Or something. The next two lines are too similar to my end lines too, and since the takers aren't necessarily all going to be together I find the concept a little bit weird that they'd all say the EXACT same thing at the same time. So yeah, cut that out. This puts my word count at 515 which is way below the maximum for the age range I've chosen, which actually means (in theory) that the age rang could spread wider than my original intentions. Maybe. I can imagine my tutors disagreeing but we'll see.
