Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this quarter, we focused in on the Visual Narrative Project. It started by writing a short story in English and integrating it into projects for Digital Media and our elective course. In Digital Media, we recorded our finished short story and edited it within Pro Tools as well as created album art for story in Illustrator. In Design, I created a creature out of five different animals, created a background, and additionally created two separate color palettes for them also within Illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this Visual Narrative Project, I valued how I have been able to integrate all of the different kinds of aspects into this short story. I really appreciate how I have especially been able to improve my Illustrator skills through this while also being able to improve my reach of creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flash Fiction Brainstorming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, I started by brainstorming about my main character in my short story. I wanted to get a sense of what I wanted to go for with my story overall and what I wanted the moral to be. This Character Questionnaire assignment, however, does not illustrate at all what my story ended up being. This was more of a time to let myself tunnel vision into one character which I found to not have a dilemma to fit how I wanted my short story to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What ended up being my main inspiration for this story was unconsciously anxious thoughts when it comes to how we view other’s perception on ourselves. I feel like us as humans get so focused on other people’s judgement that it can get too overwhelming when we should be happy to be our fullest of selves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create the audio version of this story, I used a Tascam Audio Recorder to record the audio and Pro Tools to edit the clips together (as well as add in SFXs and music). The audio version itself was very nice when trying to better understand the character’s tone and expressions. I tried my best to demonstrate this and also express those emotions thoroughly through the music as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
