Review

Issues raised on Yesterday's review:

  • How to tell his disability
  • Shall i make him blind only?
  • Not making too much sense
  • We are not communicating with audience enough

To solve:

Beginning:
Make a transaction between the real world and boy's mind
--fade from blankness (Richie's Idea)
--more linking with mum; mum's face appears when he touches it (but it's not an original idea)
--the boy's own drawing or talking?

To connect between scenes; morphing or making extra plot?
give more treatment to the seperation from mum
less abstract?
change the look of chicken

Sound:
apart from my original idea of using anbient music with morphed noise, i should add more hint in the bg sounds to clearify what is happening, eg: the sounds of the animals

Reason not to use:

  • a blind stick -- i just think it's too cruel to give the boy a stick. i want the boy to feel like an ordinary boy and has the same freedom
  • a map of the farm -- i tend not to tell everything in advance. i prefer to make the audience interested in guessing about.

I think the rough blockout makes less sense without the colour and limit in animation. also the idea of the beginning sequence has been changed a lot, but i decided to leave it to the last, so i didn't spend time on updating it.
