“How well can you apply advanced narrative techniques to build a compelling story?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narrative Visual Perspective in English<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For senior year’s narrative assignment, we were given the World-Building project. The point of the project was for us students to work together to create a new world outside of our own, and then create a story that takes place in that new world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who wants to someday become a comic book author, and who is constantly creating new worlds and stories – this was an assignment I was super excited for when I first heard of it, and it was one that I really enjoyed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this project, I worked with Jessica Lohse. We had a day where we got to talk about our story ideas with others in our class, and see who we might want to collaborate with. I brought a story that I’d been working on since middle school – and Jessica was interested in the story, so she decided to work with me on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing we needed to do was finalize the main characters. I had a basic idea of all of the characters, but they were characters that I’d made a couple of years ago – and only one of them really stood well as a character that I wanted to write about (though even he got adjustments). Jessica ended up helping me rework all of the other characters into something that worked better for the story that I wanted to tell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were a number of other characters we redesigned as well, but these two were the most important, so they’re the ones that I’m adding to the website. (We plan on making this into an actual comic soon, so we can’t have too many spoilers!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica and I also worked on finalizing the map and the location of where the story would take place, as well as writing out the fully story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d explain more here, but part of the assignment was actually to present our world in a Pitch Presentation!! You can watch below to see what we created!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
